Hello All, My name is Niall and I'm a very very amateur genealogist with some ancestors at Moruya from 1860, as well as a general historical interest in the South Coast region. I've decided to put my effort where my earlier email was and compile a list of cemeteries info for all towns within the region of this list. >The geographical area covered is from Helensburgh >to Moruya and inland to the Great Divide, including >Queanbeyan, Goulburn, Bowral, Picton, and Appin. (- said Cathy Dunn) Huge task perhaps, but won't take too long if everyone helps. Will put the results up for everyone to view when finished if my ISP doesn't mind. By the way I have no commercial motive for this whatsoever. I just think such a list might be useful. I would like to hear from anyone who may think that such a project IS NOT useful, or would be duplicating a list or directory that is already available somewhere. This might save me re-inventing the wheel. On the other hand, encouragement, ideas, and sources of info would be greatly appreciated. If you have info on locations of cemeteries and where transcriptions of cemetery headstones are located, whether it be in a library, church, genealogy or local history org., website etc. etc. Send ME an email and I will put it into an MsACCESS database and put (a static copy) it up on the web. PLEASE READ THE WHOLE OF THIS MESSAGE BEFORE DOING SO. However, I want to do this within one month maximum two (am very busy). That is the plan. I expect that if the 167 or so people subscribed to this list, (many of whom no doubt may live on the south coast) supply details on their local cemeteries, as Cathy did, then I will complete this list in no time at all. If there are 500 or 600 towns, in this list area, that won't be a problem. Today is the Monday 7th of December,1998. Please send information for each in the following format, because these are the field names so far in my database: Town or Place (where is the cemetery) Address Cemetery (name of the cemetery site) CemetaryCustodian (who looks after it, eg.council,church, private etc) Transcribed (yes or no, have the headstone details been transcribed?) Transcriber (who did the transcription?) Published (yes or no?) Publisher (who published it?) Date of transcription AvailableFrom (eg. which library, history society, website etc.) Other info: Now, having committed myself, I will click on the SEND button. Viva genealogy!
