“Pastoral Directories” means livestock owners.
I saw the database title on Ancestry.com titled “Pastoral Directories” and immediately searched for a relative who was an Australian minister. He was not located.
And that’s because this directory was of livestock owners–not ministers.
Always learn about a new database before searching it.
And always keep your assumptions in check. Things might not mean what you think they do.
