Just found this useful link which already contains a fair amount of information on burials and monuments.

Also it might be worth volunteering to help.

I'd love to be able to be part of something like that. I see there are Queensland cemeteries being indexed, so I might contact them to see what's happening.

Hi

Thanks for this link MrsLizzy.

Looks really interesting! Couldn't see anything for Cheshire, sadly. I think it's a brilliant idea to take pictures of these monuments for future researchers as the inscriptions will not last forever.

Thanks for that Mrs Lizzy. I've saved it to my Family History favourites.

Jayson - there are a few photo's of graves in Cheshire on the Carl's Cam site

Pic's are mainly war memorials but there are some gravestones eg at Hatherlow & Wincle

Great site. I looked and found nothing for my family. I have put a few grave sites on Find a Grave. It definitely is important to record as many as possible.
