This page has links to resources on early Wangaratta (and Melbourne) that I have created.
You are welcome to use information about individual people to assist your personal research, as long as you give the correct credit to this blog. If you wish to send the page link to these resources to someone else, please do so.
Please respect the fact that I have spent hundreds of hours researching and purchased a lot of primary records to provide these resources. The copyright is owned by me and I do not tolerate copying or distribution of my research in any way, (including online family trees) or in any form without prior permission.
At the moment this page contains links to:

- Registrars of Births, Deaths & Marriages at Wangaratta
- Melbourne Lying-In Hospital Births 1856-1879
