Summary

Centenary History of the Presbyterian Church in New South Wales
This Centenary History, published in 1905 in two volumes, contains a wealth of information on Presbyterianism, Presbyterian churches and Presbyterian people in New South Wales. It is a valuable resource for church, local and family historians - greatly enhanced by full text searching on this CD edition.
The two volumes are arranged as follows:
~ general history in 24 chapters - all of volume 1
~ historical sketches of more than 180 parishes arranged under 14 presbyteries
~ an In Memoriam listing "to retain in the memory of the Church the names of friends and relatives who have joined the Church Invisible" [i.e. died]. The list gives the names of over 160 men and women along with date and place of death, and name and address of the donors to the memorial fund for each person listed.
~ list of ministers who served in the NSW Presbyterian Church before Union - giving name, year of arrival and other notes, often including date of death or where they went from NSW
~ list of ministers who served in the NSW Presbyterian Church since union in 1866 - giving name, approx date of arrival in NSW or when licensed, former church connection, etc.
~ ministers who served in the Presbyterian Church of Eastern Australia since union in 1865
~ a number of other useful appendixes
