Re Cemetery Project Hi all and Niall Within my Specialist Index I probabaly have all the cemetery transcripts for the local government areas of Wollondilly, Camden and Campbelltown and also further north towards Penrith. I have not transcribed any of them myself but either dug up, been given or purchased them. At the moment I haven't time to spend obtaining all that info. on each individual cemetery or graveyard and submitting it even though your project is very worthwhile. If anyone accesses my surname index, these transcripts are automatically checked as part of a blanket search and a printout done.
