Hi Bob

Absolutely - a parish record transcription is $10 and a civil registration record $15. I think a certificate is about $24. Aditionally, the transcription can be sent via email so usually quicker & no postage costs. However, it is not a legal document, as is a certificate, but usually as much as required for family history. The details are here

I use Laurie Turtle, but I think they are all much the same.

This is NSW only. I haven't found a similar service in other states.
