Bob demonstrated some of the less well-known aspects of producing a unique, accurate description of each place where significant events occurred in the lives of our ancestors.
Some of the sites that he recommended were:
Members raised concerns at the impact of proposed changes to the Notice of Intended Marriage Form. If the changes go ahead, entries in the marriage register will no longer have information on the occupation and place of residence of the couple marrying or the details of their parents. You can compare the proposals with the current form in pdf format here.
It was noted that
Members might like to make a submission in the following terms: I urge you to reject the proposed deletions from the information collected through the NOIM. While the intention of reducing complexity is worthwhile, the advantages it brings should not be at the expense of other social good. Many people make use of the information held in State and Territory Registries in order to understand the history of their family, their community and changes in the wider society. Failing to collect information on the occupation and place of residence of the couple marrying and the details of their parents will significantly reduce the overall information quality of the Registry and make future social and family history research both more difficult and less effective. Those who conduct marriages have obligations to the society that entrusts them with that role. These should include the (minor) inconvenience of collecting and submitting a few items of information that (although not strictly necessary to their immediate concern) will prove valuable to future generations. |
