Just one question
How come none of the burial/cemetery records have been put online by the local councils for free searches in cemeteries.
That is what is done in New Zealand (Lucky us

), not all councils yet, however they are getting there, some sites are really good with photos etc.
If i was still in the Uk i think i would be spending a long time in the Family History areas of the libraries........Yes we still have to get certificates for death etc from the national office (archives) however details from the cemetery sites can be printed off for your records free.
