This data collection contains tombstone transcriptions from several cemeteries in Australia. Information collected from burial registers or funeral records was sometimes also used. The entire collection covers deaths from 1808-2007. However, years covered for each area/cemetery will vary.
This database is a conglomeration of several different sources. Records were primarily compiled by local family history groups or societies. Because this collection comes from such a variety of sources and compilers, the information given for a record will vary. However, the following is the type of information you may find:

• Name of deceased
• Age at time of death
• Birth date
• Death date
• Burial date
• Name of cemetery
• State in which cemetery is located
• Location of grave or tombstone within the cemetery
• Other source references
AIGS records may also contain a field called “source reference”. This reference field will help you to know how to locate the original transcription at the library. An “M-[number]” reference means that the transcription can be found on microfiche and the microfiche number is the number listed in the reference. A “Card” reference means that any additional information is available on a card index. Both the microfiche and card index can be accessed at the AIGS library.
In addition, individual cemeteries may have more information or related records.
