COOLGARDIE CEMETERY UPDATE
I’d like to share an update on my ongoing project to expand the biographies of those buried in the Coolgardie Cemetery. I recently realised that it is almost exactly a year since I began this enormous undertaking, and I’m pleased to say that I have now completed the biographies for burials from January 1896 through to the end of December 1898.
At this stage, the updates do not yet include newspaper articles, headstone photographs, or photographs of the people themselves. These will be added as the project progresses.
The current number of burials to date is – 3128
If you have relatives buried in the Coolgardie Cemetery during this period, you may like to explore the updated biographies by following the link below.
