Colonial Tasmanian Family Links
Guidelines for amendments
Guidelines for sending material for proposed corrections or additions–
- We need verified information – if we do not we run the risk of perpetuating the inaccuracies and unlikely assumptions already evident on Family Links. (We have received ‘corrections’ for example, which give two possible death dates for what is presumed to be the same person). Comments about people or events such as ‘I think’, ‘could possibly be’, ‘maybe and we think but have no proof’ have also been received but it is not our intention to make any changes based on such qualified information.
- It is also useful if you supply the TASP number for entries needing correction and if there is more than one entry for the same person all TASP numbers.
- We will not add individuals to the database unless they have an event (birth death marriage) which happened in
Tasmania.
- Except for death information we will not add data post 1920.
- If the only available record which links a child to its parents is, for example a Victorian death certificate it would be useful if a copy of this could be supplied. This information is also available on post 1896 Tasmanian marriage registrations.
