Discover more about Queensland Nominated Immigrants 1908-1922
The Queensland Nominated Immigrants 1908-1922 index was compiled from the Card Index to Personal Files for Nominated Immigrations, 1908-1922, which was created and used by the immigration department of the Australian state of Queensland.
These cards record information about individuals who were nominated or sponsored to migrate to Queensland between 1908 and 1922. Interestingly, the cards detailed the information of not only applicants who were successfully nominated and migrated to Queensland; it also contains details of those who were rejected, who later returned to their country of origin or elsewhere, and even those who simply made inquiries about immigrating to Queensland. In many instances, one member of the family would initially make the journey alone, then nominate other family members later to join them in Queensland.
Remember to check all possible spelling variations, and keep in mind that all first names are abbreviated as they appeared in the original records.
It is advised to use the listed age as only a rough guide, as this information was often outdated. Sometimes the age indicated was at the time of nomination, which may have been years before they arrived in Queensland.
Also note that the year shown on the index may be either the year of arrival, if they did successfully immigrate to Queensland, or the year in which they were nominated.
