I have mentioned before (on the other board) that I am a volunteer keyer for Ancestry.com. We’re working on keying all the records of the New South Wales Police Gazette for 1854 through 1930. We have been working on it for 20 months now and we’re halfway through. There were some really interesting things going on in those days. It was just like the Wild West at it’s woolliest. The Gazette was sent to every police department in Australia. In the early days they had to be as detailed as possible in their descriptions as there were no pictures on wanted posters until the early 1900’s. I thought you might like seeing one of these wanted articles from 1880. I think I could pick this guy out in a crowd.
