Can SKS tell me whether there is an index available for Urunga cemetery ? If not what council would it fall under ? I have just been told informed by a wonderful man by the name of John T. Brown that there is a burial recorded Frank Alexander MORSE at Urunga 17th August 1918 .....even though he is not listed on the BDM index (??) TIA regards Jennifer Batemans Bay [email protected] Searching for MORSE in Somerset, Bedford, Middlesex, India and Australia and also FORWOOD in UK and Australia

During Easter, we celebrate with our families, but for many people, this is a difficult time as they continue the search for their birth families, from they have been seperated for various and differing reasons.Many of these searchees have spent many fruitless searches for their families, and I would like to remind listers that the Australian Adoption Notice Board has many families listed on same, so if you have a spare moment, you might take the opportunity to have a look and see if any of the names are familiar to you, with a view to possibly assisting the enquirer which is listed on same. The Australian Adoption Notice board is a voluntary project and over 15 families have been reunited in the last 9 months alone, often with the assistance of researchers on our lists . http://www.standard.net.au/~jwilliams/adnotice.htm Happy Easter Jenny Fawcett Genseek Genealogy
