Boulder Cemetery – a long time coming

GREAT NEWS!!!!

The current Boulder Cemetery is now available in full on the Outback Family History website as of today. Up until now it has only had a partial list, but thanks to Danelle Warnock, who has been editing and adding to the data for some time now, it is now online. It wouldn’t have happened so soon without her tireless help.

This data has been compiled from several sources such as copies of the index of the Kalgoorlie/ Boulder Cemetery which were photocopied many years ago by the Goldfields Family History Soc members on behalf of WAGS (The Western Australia Genealogical Soc) who in turn were assisting AGCI (Australian Genealogy Computer Index). This information was then put on the ‘AGCI disk’ and made available for purchase, now out of production unfortunately. This was done by the ‘Society of Australian Genealogy.  It contains the burials from hundreds of cemeteries all over Australia along with other information.   The burial details for Coolgardie, Kalgoorlie, Boulder and many of the other smaller cemeteries in our area are also listed.  The disk can be found at some libraries and at WAGS and the Battye Library in Perth. When the AGCI disk was completed the photocopied cards were then returned to the Goldfields Family History Society which sadly closed its doors some ago. Additional information has been added by family members and from the newspapers.

I would like to invite everyone to visit the Outback Family History page and look for their relative to make sure all the information is correct and let us know if any ommissions or corrections need to be made.
