Hi Susie are there any plans afoot to have the Geelong cemeteries details listed by plot and /or name a mammoth task I know but it would be an asset to searchers regards Deirdre deirdremc@bigpond.com

Hello Deidre, This already exists - most local and larger genie societies have the Geelong Cemeteries on microfiche which includes section and plot numbers. The information is also available from the Geelong Cemeteries Trust - details on our research centres page at ....... http://www.zades.com.au/geelong/gdcem.htm What a lot of people don't realise is that the Geelong Cemeteries Trust manage a large number of cemeteries in the region, some of them very large: Highton (Barrabool Hills), Drysdale (Bellarine), Geelong Eastern, Grovedale (Germantown), Leopold (Kensington), Mt Duneed, Portarlington, Geelong Western. (not sure if I missed any!) Last December, Pam replied to a question on this list about a CD and her reply at the time was ........ "our records are not yet available on CD as we still have issues with our database suiting all computers and meeting the Privacy Act. Hopefully we will have access to our records in some shape or form soon! Pam Jennings (Geelong Cemeteries Trust)." The Bellarine Peninsula Cemeteries (Drysdale, Leopold, Portarlington, Newington, Lone Burials, and the still to be completed (Queenscliff / Pt Lonsdale) are available on CD with photos, transcriptions, and burials without headstones.

Thanks Susie will have a look hopefully to find long lost rels regards Deirdre deirdremc@bigpond.com

Hi Deidre - the Geelong Cemeteries Trust is currently placing all maps of our cemeteries onto our computer and eventually we hope a data base will be accessible on the web.There are still plenty of technical hitches to overcome, along with the Privacy Act so wait and see!!
