Newspaper Birth Notices Index from 1960 onwards
Our Newspaper Birth Notice transcription service is being withdrawn, we apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause our members and the public. The records are still available on site at our Library & Research Centre at 201 Unley Rd, Unley and our index will remain online. Our website will be updated in the coming months to remove the option to order transcriptions of Newspaper Birth Notices.
