This CD consolidates
into a single collection of pdf
files inscriptions on headstones
and plaques in ten cemeteries in
the Beenleigh, Redland Bay and
Cleveland districts, as
transcribed, indexed and compiled
for publication between 1995 and
2002 by Rosemary and Eric Kopittke.
The material has been previously
released in printed and/or
microfiche form by QFHS in eight
separate publications. The ten
cemeteries covered are;
Alberton
Beenleigh
Bethania Lutheran
Cleveland
Eagleby
Mt Cotton (Cornubia)
Mt Cotton (St Pauls Lutheran)
Pimpama Island
Redland Bay (Serpentine Road)
Redland Bay (Gordon
Road)
Some are still
active - others closed many years
ago.
As well as
inscriptions each file includes
maps of the cemetery showing the
position of each headstone and an
index to all names referred to on
the inscriptions.
Together the entries
refer to approximately 9,800
people and the files represent
about 800 pages of inscriptions,
maps and indexes.
The material on
this CD is an excellent resource
for researching families in the
area, covering most of the major
cemeteries and with the earliest
headstones dating from
1864.
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 for 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.
The files are fully
searchable on text using Adobe
Reader, including, with versions 6
or later, the ability to bring up,
in response to a single request, a
list of all instances of the name
or pattern you are searching across
all files on the CD. Details are
given in an overall contents
file.
