This archive holds no separate proof for most parent–child links; where it does, the note above this chart says so in words.

Where this sits in the family
Not on the direct line. They are published because they belong to one of the eight surnames this archive follows.
The register spells this surname more than one way, and the search folds the forms together — so Xubrinich and Žubrinić, Joannis and Ivan, find each other.

Mr. Wakefield, who had reached the age of 56 years, arrived in Brisbane by the General Hewitt in 1854, and has therefore been 42 years in the city.
