===Civil Registration and Church Records===
*From 1788 to 1856 the only birth, death or marriage records kept in New South Wales were the '''registers maintained by the established churches'''. As registrar's offices assumed responsibility for registration, they requested copies of earlier church records to incorporate into their collections. The [https://www.nsw.gov.au/births-deaths-marriages/about-us/history-of-registry#toc-church-registrations '''New South Wales Registry'''] holds transcriptions of these early church records. Any surviving original registers are located in the NSW Archives.
*Unfortunately, the extant records for this period are not comprehensive. Some ministers, missionaries and other authorized administrators kept records but not all were in a position to be this diligent. In addition many of the records contain inaccuracies and bad spelling. Distances to town centres, distrust of authority and lack of participation in formal church services contributed to the church registration system's inability to adequately record the details of all births, deaths and marriages that occurred in New South Wales.<ref>"History of the Registry", at New South Wales State Archives and Records, https://www.nsw.gov.au/births-deaths-marriages/about-us/history-of-registry#toc-church-registrations, accessed 1 February 2022.</ref>
*The church records are indexed with civil registration.
