The Government Gazettes contain a wealth of information, whether they be Commonwealth or State, or even Police Gazettes. These too, are available via TROVE. Note that these are from various states and include the addresses of those listed, as well as the date that the Naturalisation Certificates were granted.
The National Archives of Australia has a great collection of
Naturalisation records held in Canberra
Records relating to Italian migration held in Sydney
Citizenship in Australia
Records relating to Italian migration held in Perth
You can read more here and see a sample of postwar migration records
Record Search will help you to find all there is about your person of choice. This link will take you directly to the name search... to give you an idea, if you are new to this... I have chosen a name at random...from the second paragraph in the first page.."Comino, George Peter".. as far as I know, he is not a relative...
I have filled out his name, chosen 'Immigration and naturalisation' from the dropdown choice of records and as we can see that he was granted naturalisation in 1922, I have just added 1922-1922.
This is what came up... here You will notice on the top right hand side 'View digital copy' That means it has been released, most likely as someone has paid for it to be, as I have done for quite a few records. Once that is done, it is open for all to see and copy.
By clicking on that symbol, this is what you see next...
You could click on each page and download page by page, which wouldn't be too bad, as this file only has 9 pages, but there is an easier way... Copy the barcode and go to SODA
The barcode is 42625..
Tempting as it is to get sidetracked and explore all you see before you, for now, we only want to take notice of the top bar.. and go to Barcode retrieval. Click on that and type in the barcode
that will bring up a digital copy of the whole record... similar to what we had before, but there is one great difference.. Note the symbols..
You can scroll down the pages, print individually or simply drag and drop images to desktop.
Far easier than the usual way if you have heaps of pages.
Now though Comino is a familiar name and this man came from the same village/town as my grandfather, I have yet to find a connection. A pity that the older generation have mostly passed on, so I have no one to ask, so it seems a bit more sleuthing is in order.
Will you find a connection here? If so, please leave a comment so we can all enjoy your find.
