Elders Database

     The Ferguson Memorial Library is seeking to build up its database of every elder of the Presbyterian Church in NSW, past and present, for posterity. It is asking for information from members of the church in order to complete its records.
     Some suggestions include:

  • Using the pro-forma in this website, simply write a profile of the elder under each of the headings and click Submit.  Fill in the displayed form either on your own behalf or on behalf of someone else who was an elder, e.g  mother, grandfather, friend, deceased session member. Please ensure details are as accurate as possible. Other accompanying items, if relevant, e.g photos, copies of obituaries, etc. will need to be sent or taken in separately.
  • If you personally don't have access to a computer, use the questions asked on the pro-forma (hopefully someone has given you a copy) to write out the details and send it by mail to the Church's Archivist at the address below.
  • Publicise the existence of this website and the pro-forma among your congregation's elders. Circulate, if necessary a blank copy of this form to fellow elders or relatives of deceased elders and ask them to return the completed form to you for forwarding to the Library.
  • Note that where there is extensive detail, this form may not be adequate. Persons submitting  larger profiles should do so separately as per the first suggestion above.

 The completed forms should be sent to :
