Government gazettes “published by Authority” provided an official communication channel for regulations, legislation, and other official information to be shared with government officials and employees, as well as the public at large. New South Wales published its first official gazette in March 1832. This database includes 149 issues of the gazette published between 1853 and 1899.

Gazettes are full of material that can be of use and interest to family historians. They include notices about

government appointments
convicts
land transactions (including crown land leases)
missing persons
bankruptcies and insolvencies
next of kin
military deserters
wills, probate, and estates
court proceedings
police auctions
unclaimed and impounded letters

cattle brands

Because gazettes include such a wide variety of notices, researchers can find many ordinary people, not just government officials, mentioned in their pages. The gazettes can also be used to place individuals in a specific time and location, as well as putting people and communities in historical context.
