Based on the success of the first and second editions of this title, the compiler Ralph Reid has now expanded and updated his publication, to be over 250% larger than the original.

This unique guide covers family histories published in and relevant to Australia, and is arranged into three sections – a PRIMARY NAMES section, SECONDARY NAMES section and a TITLES section.

The TITLES list contains information on the title, author/s, publisher, where and when published, summary contents description and International Standard Book Number (ISBN). Each entry is preceded by a 4 digit number, for ease of referencing. The PRIMARY NAMES relates to the main family described in each publication, often giving region (Vic, WA etc), together with a reference to each book in that category. The SECONDARY NAMES section lists all indexed family names in alphabetical order and shows, for each one, the identity number/s of the title/s in which that family name is mentioned.

Australian Family Histories: A Bibliography and Index has established itself as an indispensable guide for all Australian family history researchers. This new edition (6,700 titles with 208,000 family name index references) is a significant expansion of the first edition (3,400+ titles with 59,000+ family name index references) and really is a must-see; all the hard work in trying to find what has been published about a particular family has been already done here.
