First native born Catholic priest in Queensland
Recently I was asked to write an item on Father John Ryan, first native born Catholic priest in Queensland (1860-1931). It focused attention on how many church records we hold: Anglican, Presbyterian, Catholic, Hebrew, Salvation Army and Uniting to begin with.
Church records may be a source of information on an individual or family wherever they were in the state.
What sort of church records does SLQ hold?
· Many parishes of all religions have recorded at least some part of their history, either as a separate publication or in a local history of the area. A special event or anniversary of the church might be celebrated in print and image.
· Check Picture Queensland for a range of photographs.
· Many religions had newspapers for at least part of their history. See the catalogue and our newspaper finding aids at the Desk (back of Level 3).
· Check indexes to a range of parish records. These can be useful, particularly when no civil records exist.
· The Uniting Church has lodged its records with SLQ. Enquire about these in the Heritage collections, Level 4.
· See our information guide in the reading and on the net about parish recordshttp://www.slq.qld.gov.au/about/pub/info_guides/collections/fh
This image from the Brisbane Courier 25 May 1927 p18 gives rise to the question:
How long did it take to get so many hats at such a similar angle at the same time?
