I've always let what will be, be. These days tho' there are preventive measures which may help some of younger generation. Perhaps too much knowledge can just be something else to worry over. Can't prevent that tho'.

Off-topic, I know, but in my own case I am in line for an experimental surgical procedure relating to my hearing loss. Part of the questionnaire asked about my parents, their siblings and their parents [my grandparents]. My mother's sibling died at age 28 of pneumococcal menigitis and as a consequence of this, I was told I needed immunization against meningitis.

Having this information available up-front has now put me front and centre for the surgery and all reasonable precautions have been taken so that I come out in better shape than when I went in.

Hi

The $43 + postage is the cost of a certificate from the South Australian Births, Marriages & Deaths (the South Australian GRO), the $15 +postage from the SAGHS is for a transcription of a copy of the original District records certificate but these may well be only historical certificates, someone more familiar with SA research may be able to advise better.

I got a copy of my dads Queensland death cert last month and cost was $37 au, (abt 24 British pounds) obviously differs state to state, but compared to UK death certs I have ordered it contains a wealth of info...parents names inc mothers maiden name, time he had been in Australia..Mums maiden name and all his childrens names and ages..UK are quite basic by comparison..

Victorian certs are also a mine of info Valg, Sth Australians never seemed to learn how.
