On a visit to St David's Park today I was surprised to see how many headstones had falled off the walls making a small number unreadable, and it looks as if this will continue to happen. Does anyone know if there was a list or photos taken when they were placed on the walls. I would be willing to take photos of all of them and put them on a CD before most of them are completely gone. Maybe someone has already done this. I was lucky as I found the ones I was looking for, still readable. Thanking you all Irene Email: schafferi@optusnet.com.au Website: http://members.optusnet.com.au/~schafferi (including Norfolk Island and Van Diemens Land list)
Hello Irene It would be worth checking with the Tas Family History Society (Hobart branch) as they have been photographing all of the headstones in Tasmania and compiling them on to CD/DVD. I would imagine they have included those at St David's.
