This CD presents photographs of and an index for the inscriptions on headstones and plaques in the Goomeri Cemetery.

This publication provides 412 photographs covering almost all inscriptions present in September 2008 in the Goomeri cemetery. It includes an index to the names of the approximately 450 subjects of the memorial inscriptions. The index allows searching on name, year of death, year of birth and other details with QFHSdatasearch, with search results linked to the corresponding photographs for display.

The material on this CD is a valuable resource for family history research in the area, especially as time and vandalism take their toll on the headstones. The photographs show details of former residents and others associated with the district, with dates of death recorded on the monumental inscription ranging from 1913 to 2008. As well as confirming or showing possible errors in the burial register, the MIs often show family relationships for 3 or 4 generations, including names of people not buried in the grave. Details can include parents, birth place and date, marriage information, titles and honours. Neighbouring plots can include related families.

QFHSdatasearch is a generic interface designed for searching genealogy databases and developed by the Queensland Family History Society Inc. This version features field oriented and keyword searches, recognition of diacritics, Boolean selection, sorting, wildcard searches and links between search results and images.
