Dear Valerie, I just found this link today to a fairly new website which may be helpful to genie's research world-wide. They accept and share these certificates: birth; death; marriage; and baptism as long as they are in the English language. Website accepts .PDF and .JPEG files that are uploaded.
Certificate Sharing
http://www.certificatesharing.com
It's a FREE site that allows users to search for certs and/or upload their own.
Regards, Allycat, QLD Australia.

Brighton Cemetery with not only a searchable data base but stories of the interned. This site gave me the "breakthru" I needed for my brickwall and invaluable information about my Booth and Holloway family. If that wasn't enough, I managed to contact a long lost relative on my Holloway side. "Samuel's Story" (Samuel Holloway) is the sad story of my G G Grandmothers young brother who died at the age of 11.

I just travelled to Ballarat, Victoria to have a look at their cemetery.
At the front gate of the Old Cemetery, there is now a computer which you can type the names that you are looking for and it tells you exactly where the graves are and also shows you on a map. It can be used to search both the Old, New and Cematorium records.
Absolutely fantastic - saved us walking around for ages!!!
