This second CD consisting of Queensland School Pupils consolidates into a single index microfiche Volumes 6 to 10 of the Queensland Family History Society continuing QSPI project, indexing admissions and other school records in Queensland. QSPI Part 2 indexes approximately 320,000 names drawn from over 200 Queensland schools.
Sources from which the names are drawn are diverse - actual school admission registers, school histories covering a significant anniversary (Jubilee, Golden, Centenary) in the life of a school, and local histories which don't focus on the school, but include pupil list as part of their story.
Many sources provide additional information on the family including age at admission, birth date, parent's name and occupation, religion, address - all very useful to the genealogist and family historian. School records are a source that we cannot afford to overlook! The index can be directly searched on name, school and year using QFHSdatasearch which is included on the CD.
QFHSdatasearch, developed by the Queensland Family History Society, is a generic interface designed to search genealogy databases. This version features field oriented and keyword searches, Boolean selection, sorting and wildcard searches.
System Requirements: PC with Windows operating system (Win95 or later), CD drive and 20 Mb of free disk space to install QFHSdatasearch.
