    I’m completely blown away by how much information is available through churches if you just know where to look. Thank you so much Benjamin for sharing your knowledge.

    Very helpful since most of us know nothing about Aussie church records. I’m hoping to find a long-lost penpal from the 1960s by possibly finding her married name in a 1970s marriage record IF they are accessible.
