Preowned but in very good condition showing minor Edgeware, handling increases, and light surface spotting near the title alignment. This is a regional historical book focusing on the local Catholic community in the Bega Valley, New South Wales between 1829 and 1985. The book was edited by Reverend Gerard Monaghan to commemorate the 120th anniversary of the local parish. Spanning 192 pages, this book serves as a localised genealogical and religious ledger. It covers early European settlement, historic regional photos, family lineages, and the integration of Catholic schools in the region.Note, because it prints records not found elsewhere online, it is highly valued by local genealogists tracing Australian family roots. This book was locally printed in a very small run thus is quite niche and rare.
