Subject: [AUS-VIC-NorWest] Nathalia or Barwo?
Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2001 22:59:34 +1200


Hi everybody

I was just wondering if someone could clear up something up for me.
According to an article I read about the history of Nathalia, it used to be
called Barwo, up until 1885 (or thereabouts) until it's name was officially
changed to Nathalia. We have all kinds of ORR family certificates, CD
indexes etc that seem to interchange these names at the drop of a hat, and
most of them well after this so-called name change date. So what's the real
truth behind all this, and do other researchers encounter the same problem?
We thought we actually had two different towns, and it still actually looks
like that.

Any help with this mystery would be appreciated.

Kind regards

Donald Stanley
