You have to registered to use it but that part seems to be having problems this morning . At least you can put it into favourites to try again later Happy Hunting Bye MargM List Admin
Hi Marg thanks for this. Catholic burials can be searched: http://www.catholiccemeteries.org.au/rookwood/rookwood.html (a search screen pops up) and the Independents: http://www.rookwoodindependent.com.au/Mapping/Index.aspx Still leaves a few to go. on another note ... I have a pauper burial which doesn't seem to be locatable. Not sure this is because the poor went into unmarked graves or because it is from 1888. Death certificate says: DATE OF BURIAL -10/12/1888 PLACE OF BURIAL -CHURCH OF ENGLAND CEMETERY ROOKWOOD MINISTER & RELIGION -REV W HOTSTON, CHURCH OF ENGLAND UNDERTAKER -JORDAN SPARKS Regards 2009/9/27 MargM <[email protected]>: > > > Sydney's Rockwood main cemetery is now searchable . > http://www.rookwoodcemetery.com.au/ >
