Cheers,

Thank you very much for sending the photos. I just thought I'd tidy up all my old posts - so this is another job COMPLETED.
Thanks again

My pleasure, Anita! I actually enjoy prowling round the cemetery with an end in view - not just aimlessly prowling! Always happy to help!

At ozgenonline - http://www.ozgenonline.com/aust_cemeteries - someone has an alphabetical list of headstone photos available for free for the Toowoomba cemetery.
You would need to check the list and quote the reference no.
e.g. , the request for Catherine Lindenmeyer is as - Lindenmayer, Catherine F. - DSC 002044 Luth 1c31-36 CD8
Regards, Annie

Hi Annie,
Firstly, welcome to Rootschat!  And thank you very much for posting such a useful post so early in your membership here!!!
So I suppose the best approach for those looking for photos of headstones in the Drayton and Toowoomba cemetery is as follows:
First, look up the cemetery index to get the reference for your person.
Second, check the website that Annie has given. If you find the headstone there, great! If you don't, still feel free to ask me to have a look. It may mean that they just haven't got around to photographing yours (it is a very big cemetery!), or it may mean that the headstone is illegible or missing, like some I've looked for already.

Thanks for that link. Even though I live in Toowoomba I still used the service, as I haven't had the time to go out to the cemetery yet. I managed to get about 10 relatives gravestone photos. Thanks. Hopefully next weekend I can get more photos.
If anyone ever needs something in Toowoomba, I'll try my hardest to oblige.

Another Toowoomba person! That makes two of us who are active on here. You should think about coming to our meet in Brisbane in October, jeune-romantique - see the threads in The Common Room!

Sounds like a good idea! I'll have to think about a way to get there though, but hope I can go.

SE Qld Rootschatters are a lot of fun, and our meets are a laugh a minute! There are buses (Greyhound) that would get you there, or I may be driving. If you'd like to contact me closer to the date, I'll know what I'm doing, and could give you a lift if you want.

Thanks for the offer. I'm sure you could give me some wise advice for researching my family history, after all I am only 17 (and only began research a few months ago).

We could talk flat out all the way to Brisbane and back, j-r! I'm very impressed that you have started so young, and therefore have so much opportunity to find things out! I constantly kick myself that I didn't start earlier, while people who could have helped a lot were still with us!

haha that's the one thing I'm good at...talking! Thanks, it was the fact that my Nana had some information on her mother's ancestors that triggered my thirst to know my ancestors. Luckily for me my 1st Cousin 2 Times Removed had already gathered a wealth of information, so to start it was easy (just had to input a lot of information into PAF), but now (with other sides, and the brick walls that aforementioned cousin hit) it has become so much harder.
Thanks for the offer, I'll get back to on it. What date will the meeting be?

It is set down for Sunday 7 October, at the State Library/Southbank in Brisbane (the jury is still out on how much time will be spent in the library researching and how much at a cafe socialising!) You'll find threads in the Common Room with lots of discussion!
