Database and Catalogue
Over the years material such as Electoral Rolls, Parish registers, Rate Books just to mention a few have been transcribed and indexed. The Society is developing a database where members and visitors can search for a name or place and know where those records can be found at the Barracks.
Early Electoral Rolls
Maitland & Beyond Family History are transcribing the early and hard to find Electoral Rolls for Maitland and the surrounding areas. These are being added to our Database. They show where your ancestor lived, where they owned land and what the property was named and using our Historical Mapping Project be able to locate where it was.
