Judy Webster's Genealogy Tips and Indexes for local, interstate & overseas folk with historical records in Queensland and other Australian States. © Copyright, Judy Webster.    Search this site Why I use and recommend Findmypast

Family historians often need help in record offices that they cannot visit in person. Employing someone familiar with local records (including unusual sources) is often more productive and more economical than attempting the research yourself.

I use historical records available in Brisbane, Queensland. My speciality is working with unusual records that are often overlooked but which are superb for overcoming 'dead ends' and 'brick walls' in family history. I am also experienced in tracing living descendants in Queensland. My clients include family historians, professional genealogists, solicitors and State Trustees. You are welcome to check my credentials and obtain references.

I have a Graduate Diploma in Local and Applied History (University of New England, Armidale NSW) and I have been doing professional genealogical research since 1986. As a genealogical record agent, I have undertaken to abide by a Code of Ethics.

Due to the pandemic and other circumstances, my services have been reduced to:

Copying service for original records that I've indexed (search the 70,000 names).

Other services, subject to change - see www.judywebster.com.au/prof.html.

My Policy

I aim to be both professional and friendly; I will provide full source references; and your personal details, address, correspondence and research remain confidential.
