Cemetery Headstones

The Tasmanian Family History Society Inc. has transcribed many of the headstones surviving in cemeteries around Tasmania.  These transcriptions are held by the five branches around Tasmania - Burnie, Hobart, Huon, Launceston and Mersey. Except for Cornelian Bay, Kingston Regional and Carr Villa, these transcriptions have all been indexed and published as Tombstone and Memorial Inscriptions of Tasmania (TAMIOT). The CD-ROM can be purchased from TFHS Inc. The 800 sites from where these inscriptions have been taken are also listed here on the TFHS Inc. web site.

The five branches have captured digital images of most of these surviving headstones that are listed in TAMIOT, plus new headstones erected since TAMIOT was published. Some of these digital images are already on the eHeritage web site as thumbnail images. High resolution images are available from the respective branches.  

The Hobart Branch currently has images for Sorell District, Oatlands District, Richmond, Bruny Island and other southern Tasmanian areas, and these are available for purchase.
