Lynece, this is going back a while, but can you tell us what the
asterisks against some dates stand for?

The National Library of Australia has a useful guide to electoral rolls
and what years are available at
http://www.nla.gov.au/app/eresources/item/1881. It appears that the
Ancestry databases include only some of those that are available at the
National Library (and, presumably, at the relevant state libraries).

From the Ancestry web-site;
"Those marked by asterisk have been indexed. Others are image-only."

However if you intend to use Ancestry as a look-up sourch be mindfull
that their search function is still 'broken', for example if you
select a State from the drop-down no results are then shown - a work
around is to put the State (full spelling) in the Keywords field.

This search function has now been broken for quite a while.
One wonders if it was a US search function whether it would remain
broken for the same time period.
