This cemetery transcription collection was begun approximately in 1950 by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, residing primarily in New South Wales and Queensland. Most information is extracted from the monuments, but extractions from a few burial registers are included. Each cemetery was not necessarily transcribed completely. Some transcribers only did those monuments for which they had a particular interest. The majority of the cemeteries are public cemeteries with only a few churchyards transcribed. Some tombstones may not have survived. Therefore, population coverage is not comprehensive. | This cemetery transcription collection was begun approximately in 1950 by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, residing primarily in New South Wales and Queensland.
