Back for 2026.. An inveterate gap-filler, I track down missing details and familial linkages, persistently populate profiles (mainly for graves located in New South Wales, Australia), and also do a little headstone photography here and there.

If family relationships or other details aren't explicitly stated on a headstone, confirmation is sought from various official, historial, and genealogical sources.

Occasionally, I might make updates to memorials that're located elsewhere in the world. If you notice me doing this, you can consider it a fairly good bet that the person in question has some sort of windingly curious connection to Australia. G'day! :-)

At first I thought this site was fine

to help me trace my fam'ly line;

but now I've branched to other trees

both here in Oz and overseas:

preserving fragile lore of yore

before it's lost and is no more.

And mayhap, at some future time

when others hope their trees to climb

I will have helped in their ascent.

If that be so, 'tis time well spent.
