Thank you for your reply Patsy. the idea of building our own toolbox of websites to check is a great idea. I do have my favourite websites that I use and they change for individuals depending upon where people lived at various times. I just feel that I am not utilizing the Research Guidance and the to-do-list as well as I could. As my current toolbox/website list is in my head, it would be nice to have a list that I can check against, in case I forget something. At the moment I don't belong to a society for various reasons. I have just joined the Aus-Legacy group so I am happy to continue the discussion there if you like.thanks Anne

Once you have the National Archives of Australia item barcode for your veteran download their WHOLE record in ONE action at http://dhistory.org/archives/naa/ .I tend not to use Legacy’s Research Guidance as the Australian genealogical societies seem to do this quite well. For example, the Society of Australian Genealogists (http://www.sag.org.au/) have a webinar for members on the Australian War Memorial archives on 22 October.However, Chris’s comments about how to add our own websites into a workaround research toolbox in effect in Legacy Family Tree reminded me of Thomas MacEntee’s webinar Building a Research Toolbox (see http://www.familytreewebinars.com/ on 6 April 2011) so perhaps building our own research toolboxes and sharing these as Research Guidance may be something to think about and discuss. Indeed, when I reflect, my talk to the Genealogical Society of Victoria (http://www.gsv.org.au/) on 6 November is really about sharing part of my own personal research toolbox. Also, Meg Bate’s facebook page on VicGUM (http://www.vicgum.asn.au/ ) often has posts on sites that we might incorporate into our own personal research toolboxes. Perhaps, I get ahead of myself and the websites above really do form part of our General Research Guidance. I think the Australian Legacy list is the more appropriate medium for discussing this further (join us at aus-legacy-l-requ...@rootsweb.com if you aren’t already a member) – after 6 November.

My work around to this is 2 fold. - Try changing the default country for an individual by going to options in research guidance. Save & go back to options and select refresh RG results. I have obtained extra sources at times by selecting Australia & NZ depending on your timeline events.  - Set up your own research sites using the To do list. Select add to create a to do item, add a category & locality (or add your own). Then select add under the repository tab and enter the name & address details plus copy & paste your site URL to the home pg field. Once saved the URL is active and can be used from the repository tab itself or from the double arrow icon at the end of the home pg field. Hope this helps.
