If someone from the NSW Genealogy Society/Family History Group, is watching this list they might like to know that the owner of Walters Funeral Directors, Sydney, told me she is on the verge of throwing out 100yrs of records because they are taking up too much space. These are the records of the 9 branches of the business which have been in the family since her grandfather's day. Please don't let this happen. She told me that most firms in Sydney have been taken over by big American companies and they just send the records to the dump. Criminal. In NZ we find the undertaker's records wonderful for genealogy as they contain the same info as death certificate. They are only too happy to share them with genealogists. A huge saving. I hope a group of Sydney genealogists will get together, take these records off their hands and make it their project to transcribe them for history's sake. Cynthia (NZ)
