Trove Tuesday - Gazetted in Fishing Point

While newspaper searches reward us with details of local people we should not forget the value of fishing in the Government Gazettes that are digitised on Trove. In today's post we will share some snippets from Gazettes that give us information on people from Fishing Point. In addition to the items shared there are further articles on bankruptcies and names on unclaimed moneys lists.

It is interesting to note that the digitised images from the Gazettes are generally of better quality than the newspaper images.
