    1. Re: South Coast Cemetery Inscriptions

    3. Hello all, Here's an idea related to the last posting about Headstone inscriptions. Why doesn't everyone get something like that happenning in their own towns, from Helensburgh to Moruya which is the subject/scope of this list? As I live in Cronulla, this would exclude me, but I do think it would be a great idea to have all inscriptions (say, pre 1940 or 1950 or some other arbitrary date) on headstones in South Coast cemetries available on the web. It might provide valuable information for genealogists, in addition to other available death records. Has this been done in a number of south coast towns already?
