If you use a transcription agent, NSW certs are not too expensive, see http://www.joymurrin.com.au/home-page/our-services/nsw/

Thank you all for your information. I thought a transcription agent would be more expensive.I had been looking for the birth and marriage of Hulda but couldn't find them.
I knew Hermann came from somewhere in Switzerland because there are still members of the family near Bienne.

I don't know about Louis Rothacker, I think it must be another family.
Thankyou all

If you only seek certain fields of info (like parents details or place of birth), transcriptions can be very inexpensive...the more fields you want, the more they cost. Make sure you compare as different ones may have different ideas of what a 'field' consists of!
