This publication provides 710 photographs covering all headstones and plaques present in 2008 in the Sherwood Anglican Cemetery, Brisbane. It includes an index to the names of the approximately 1,400 subjects of the memorial inscriptions. The index allows searching on name, year of death and other details with QFHSdatasearch, with search results linked to the corresponding photographs for display. The CD also includes a searchable pdf file of the QFHS 1995 transcription of the MIs, with a diagram of the cemetery layout and reference numbers used in the index to identify MI locations.

The material on this CD is a valuable resource for family history research in the district, especially as time and vandalism take their toll on the headstones. The photographs show details of former parishioners with dates of death recorded on the monumental inscription ranging from 1854 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.
