💙✨ 10 MILLION RECORDS!!! ✨💛

An incredible milestone has been reached — (last night!)
The Ryerson Index has now surpassed 10 MILLION records!

What began over 25 years ago as a small volunteer project has grown into one of Australia’s most valuable free genealogical resources.

Every single entry represents:
🕊 A life remembered
📰 A notice preserved
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 A connection made for families, historians and researchers

This milestone would not be possible without the dedication of our amazing volunteers, past and present, who have contributed countless hours indexing notices from across Australia.

Together, we have built something truly special — a resource that helps ensure these records are never lost to time.

🙏 Thank you to everyone who has supported, contributed to, or used the Ryerson Index over the years.

Here’s to the next million!

— The Ryerson Index Team 💙💛
