Nominated Immigrants 1905-1928

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 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.
