MODULE 3: Purchasing NSW, VIC and QLD BDM transcripts

-

Purpose 

If you find a NSW birth, marriage or death record listed on Ancestry, you can purchase a transcript by a direct link to Marilyn Rowan's NSW Transcription Service. I purchase transcripts this way as they cost less and you receive them quickly. The current price is $17.50 and I generally receive the transcript within three to five business days as the process is more automated. 

NSW birth, marriage and death registrations



When your search for a NSW birth, marriage or death produces a result on Ancestry as shown in the first image, select View Record to see the second image. You can purchase the record by selecting Order Record. The first time, you'll see this message which will take you to the portal for NSW Transcription Service.


So the request for the transcript has been added to the cart. At this point, you can either choose to continue searching or checkout.


Checkout will take you to this screen when you will create an account or log in to your existing account to place your order.


Happy purchasing! 

While we can purchase transcripts for NSW births that took place more 100 years ago, marriages that took place more than 50 years ago and deaths that occurred more than 30 years ago, later years are not available via Ancestry. This is when I purchase them on-line through NSW Transcription Service.

September 2024 - There have been recent updates at AncestryDNA including the optional subscription to ProTools. While my approach to grouping remains the same, I am now trialling slight changes to numbering and colouring to take advantage of these changes. For examples, groups are numbered as 1P and 1M rather than P1 and M1 as the number and colour of the group signifies the ancestral line. This post will be updated prior to the Summer 2025 program.  Introduction to the Leeds Method Click  HERE  to watch a twenty five minute video I've recorded on the Leeds Method and my "twisted" Leeds Method.

AncestryDNA is autosomal testing - often called cousinship testing. You can read more about atDNA testing at Louise Coakley's excellent site - click  HERE.  Here's a pedigree chart provided by Louise. Any one of your ancestors could have passed atDNA down to you but, the more distant the ancestor, the less likely you'll have some of their atDNA. You don't need to know a lot of terminology but here are some you need to understand- It's essential that you get the relationship between the tester and the "cousin" the atDNA is shared with correct. So the "cousinship chart" is important to un

Update on Ancestry subscriptions- Most of your AncestryDNA matches will not have a subscription and will have very little information to work with.  If you don't have an Ancestry membership, you should consider "AncestryDNA Plus" which costs $39.99 each six months. You can read about the features included  HERE. Ancestry Pro Tools allows you to see how much DNA your matches share and their relationship to each other. The cost is variable but I pay $10US a month. You can read more HERE  and use the link to subscribe.  Below at are notes for those who attended the Society of Australian Genealogists' webinar First Look at AncestryDNA .  Others are welcome to use these notes for their personal research.  Please contact me at chrisw9953[at]gmail[dot]com for  other uses.  I'll strive to update the notes as there are further developments or my understanding of the area grows.
