The information includes: Name, Age, Date of Entrance/Admission, Religion, Date of Birth, First Communion, Confirmation, Date of Leaving Orphanage (sometimes includes with whom). The Admission registers are managed by the Institute of the Sisters of Mercy of Australia and Papua New Guinea (ISMAPNG).
