On Find A Grave there are 1486 Australian Cemeteries and 256 Boyd burials. Remember memorial are all created by volunteers who either have loved ones buried at the respective cemeteries or they may just happen to live near a particular cemetery and have done a survey of that cemetery. Hope that makes sense http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=csr&CScntry=15 Australian Cemeteries Joe Boyd Williams SRT Sons of the Republic of Texas Founder House of Boyd Society Calhoun County, Texas Historical Commission Cape Carancahua, Texas If You Can Read This, Thank A Teacher..

Generally the Societies sell "cemetery books" to raise funds and also keep copies in local libraries. Many may also have a method of viewing the records online. Are you aware of such undertakings in Oz? What resources are there that others might not be aware of for Australia? Thanks!
