These registers are particularly rich in genealogical information because the information required on the form includes date of birth, nationality (often listing the county and country of birth), religious denomination, starting date as a teacher, resignation date, professional training (which often includes names and places of schools attended in the country of origin), previous employment (by places and years), miscellaneous facts (such as when the individual came to the colony), wife’s maiden name (if married), wife’s attainments and experience (if she also taught school), the number and ages of the teacher’s children, and an employment history.
* Queensland Railways. Central Division. ''Employees’ Records, 1866–1919''. Salt Lake City, Utah, USA: Filmed by the Genealogical Society of Utah, 1990.
