I too have found Irfanview a very useful piece of software for batch processing of large numbers of photos. And being free is a real bonus for such a useful tool. Kerry

They could close the cemetery for new burials, allowing burials in plots already held by families and of course continue with cremations but all pleas have fallen on deaf ears. Cremation has of course taken over from burial as the most usual funeral now & usually when we do attend a burial service it is most often for an elderly person wishing to be buried with family members who have gone before in a family grave. There has been many protests & efforts from members of the public to stop the practice of grave reclaiming at Karrakatta but to no avail though there have been some concessions to appease the masses such as the photographing of headstones, keeping some headstones & placing them in an area around the perimeter of the section (in my opinion a headstone should mark the grave not be moved to a different spot but I guess better than what they used to do - dump them). It is a horrible sight to see a bulldozer clearing a large area of a cemetery, how much worse it must be for those who's family are buried there. At Karrakatta the policy is not to disturb the bodies in the graves (well, they say they don't but it is a tight squeeze & I can see how they could easily get it wrong). What they do is remove all the headstones in the section & survey the area marking out new plots in the space between each old grave. So, if we go to a burial service in these "new" sections it is with the uncomfortable knowledge that we are standing on someone else's grave, there really being no other choice as to where we can stand. There is a map on the MCB website of all the sections of the Karrakatta cemetery which tells you when each section is expected to be renewed. It may be the next 5 year, next 25 years, 25 years plus or never. They have targeted mainly Anglican and Catholic sections, in my opinion those less likely to kick up a stink or claim they are being discriminated against. As your Aunts grave does not expire until 2012 then I doubt you have anything to worry about in the near future & reclaiming an area where there are graves of a religious order I think might be a bit too political for them to attempt anyway. Renewing a grant is expensive, only lasts for 25 years & really of no point unless the area is up for renewal or of course if there is space in the family grave you are planning to use. The grant of a plot must be current before any new burial. In most cases people usually wait until the time comes (Dad wishing to be buried with Mum etc) & renew before the new burial so as to be safe for at least 25 years.

Hello Sharon, Thankyou so very much for going to the trouble of finding out about my graves/headstones. At least I now know, even if there is no headstone, it is a shame about reclaiming graves.. Thankyou for you help, it is very much appreciated. regard Judy Hi Judy, Only get up to Karrakatta a few times a year but often do lookups for people. I had a look at the Karrakatta map thinking I would add it to my list for when I was next there & couldn't find Anglican section GA. This made me think it may be one of the reclaimed areas, especially as this grave is quite an old one. I gave Karrakatta a ring & they checked & told me that yes it is one of the reclaimed areas. Although it didn't used to happen, over the last few years they have had a policy of photographing headstones before removing so I asked about the possibility of the existence of a photograph. They checked & unfortunately although this section was photographed there was not a headstone on this grave. Sorry, but at least you now know. If anyone on the list did want to make contact with Karrakatta (or any of the other cemeteries covered by the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board) they have a 1300 number - 1300 793 109 or email: <mailto:mcb@mcb.wa.gov.au?subject=MCB%20Website%20Query-Karrakatta>mcb@mcb.w a.gov.au.

Nice try Marsha. I think you have just re-invented the wheel. The most common and simple system of location in use is the postal system. It's been used by thousands of millions of people for hundreds of years. Everybody understands it. When thinking of a cemetery think Suburb (Section), Street (Row) and house number (grave plot). So you get Anglican in row F grave 7 or if you like, Ang.F.07 for shorthand to fit it into the one column in your database. If the cemetery you're recording has no signs then you can make up your own names using logic and common sense. Just make a note of what you have done or issue mud maps of the same. Number the sections, letter the rows and number the visible graves. Always work from the side that people approach from. Think of a supermarket and their signs. Most supermarkets have the aisle signs on the approach side, they may or may not have one on the other end but they always have one on the approach side. The camera numbers pictures in sequence. If you take your pictures in a logical order then the camera keeps a record for you. I'm always amazed by the location systems used by the cemetery trusts in Victoria. It seems most of them will do anything to avoid simplicity. The Victorian requirements are here :- http://www.health.vic.gov.au/cemeteries/admin/record.htm

Hi All, congratulations to both Norma and Jennie on their achievements. I recently finished taking pictures in a large cemetery. 23,000 people and 16,000 pictures. I labelled the pictures in groups of 1000 and suffixed each batch with a letter. So I had pictures labelled a001 to a999, b001 to b999, c001 to c999 etc. etc. up to s001 to s999. I missed the letters "o", "l" and "i" as they could get confused with the numbers. I used the freebie program from the net called "IrfanView" to do batch renames. There are several freebie programs on the net that will do batch renames but I used IrfanView. It takes a minute or two to rename 1000 pictures, it's a bit slow but it's quicker than doing them one by one. I used a $10 program from the net called "EasyImage Batch" to reduce the picture files to around one third to a quarter of their original size. It will also reduce the picture size while it is at it but I didn't use this feature. This allowed me to keep the pictures large but the file sizes small. I download the pictures from my camera card, rename them and then reduce the file size. It is much quicker to download the pictures from your card using a card reader than to do it straight from the camera. You by-pass the camera program thus making it quicker. In the last month or so I've tried well over a hundred programs and these are the two I use now. IrfanView is also excellent for viewing thumbnails of pictures if you are looking for that particular picture of Auntie Mollie. I have no connection with either of the programs or their makers. I'm just a satisfied user. With the graves facing East. What I did was to knock up a framework out of an old aluminium flyscreen, bought a silver car sun shade from the $2 shop and fixed the sun shade to the frame. Hey Presto. A large size reflector that gives a soft light. It's extremely light, at a guess 100 to 200 grams, so it's likely to blow away with the wind. Awkward to use on windy days. I knocked up a wooden easel for it but found it was too much trouble. It was easier to hold it with one hand and take the picture with the other. I had trouble viewing the camera screen in daylight so I made up a hood for it out of a piece of plastic pipe and some rubber plumbing fittings. You can buy hoods for your camera but they cost around $70 and don't work too good. If anyone wants to discuss anything or wants pictures of what I've done contact me off-line. I'm working on converting databases to HTML at the moment for web sites and CD's/DVD's.

Very impressive and valuable work which would be especially appreciated by those who have ancestors buried in Footscray. More power to you Norma ! I am a member of the Australind Family History Society (WA) and last year, we set up a project to transcribe thousands of monuments/headstones in the older sections of the Bunbury General Cemetery (WA). We have had tremendous co-operation and encouragement from our local Cemetery Board. I undertook to do the photography (a big learning experience / graves which face East / weather conditions / dealing with shadows / damaged or mutilated monuments / hard to read text / capturing text obscured by icons, floral tributes, in locked glass cabinets/ missing grave markers / solving little puzzles etc). I've taken about 12,000 images so far - sometimes necessary to take 2 or 3 pics of the same burial plot for clarity and to cover all memorials on a grave. The headstones come in all shapes, sizes, and condition. It is quite fascinating to appreciate the range of memorials at a cemetery. They generally give information not available elsewhere - except maybe in death notices in the newspaper. They also document such a lot of social change and burial practices over many decades. Personally, I have enjoyed the experience - and we hope to conclude our project by the end of 2010. I can appreciate the hard work you have achieved Norma - we did not find it easy working out how to display a numbering system which allowed us to immediately match up an image with an individual gravesite i.e. to differentiate one grave from another - - and also facilitated easy location of each and every burial plot in a large cemetery. I found the most time-consuming part is re-naming each image file captured - after downloading from the camera card - in order to quickly identify one photo from all of the others. Our File Names indicate Denominational Section - all known grave occupant/s - name of Cemetery - and so on. However, it is well worth it to have this handy reference when we are requested to search through the images. Our local Funeral Director sponsored the cost of our camera and equipment - when we lobbied for a method to record the personal MI -Monumental inscriptions - at our local cemetery. We simply realised the value and importance of the personal memorial information commissioned by a family for the grave of loved ones, when linked to family history research. It is in fact, hidden heritage, and largely 'missing' from our official death and burial records. Our Group celebrates their 25th Anniversary this year - so we feel that the M.I. transcription database and complementary photography undertaken at the Bunbury M.I. Cemetery Project is a fitting way to record and remember ancestors and to celebrate that facet of Family History in our district. I also expect list members are making full use of the digitisation of the old newspapers by the National Library of Australia 1803 - 1954 to gather information of deaths, funerals, obituaries and in memoriam notices.

Hi, I am new to the list and I am searching for a relative who emigrated to Australia. I found him and his family in the immigration records on http://www.naa.gov.au/ MADSEN, Dannow Haugbjerg (misspelling - should be Haubjerg) born 31 December 1910; Wife: Ester Johanne born 15 December 1909; Their daugher presumably: Inge Lise born 27 November 1944 Danish - travelled per ship SKAUBRYN departing Bremerhaven/Germany on 28 March 1957 under General Assisted Passage Scheme Would anyone here have found a gravestone for either Dannow Haubjerg Madsen and/or his wife Ester Johanne? I have no idea of where they settled and whether they stayed in Australia. Thanks and regards, Laila Mikkelsen, Denmark
