| === Indexes to Church Records ===
| | [http://www.mutches.com/list_index.php Mutch Surname Index ] |
| | |
| There are two excellent indexes to church records. The ''Thomas D. Mutch Index'' ( http://www.mutches.com/list_index.php) is a card index of birth, marriage, and death entries compiled from parish registers. Though it covers later time periods, it is most effective for the pre-1830 time frame. The ''Kerrison James Index'' covers pre-1830 christenings, marriages, and burials copied from English church records.

| For several years, various states have worked to produce ''Pioneer Indexes'', which include some parish registers in addition to civil registration records. To learn more about these indexes, see [[Australia Civil Registration- Vital Records|Australia Civil Registration]].
