Many burials at Toxteth Park Cemetery Liverpool are now online and searchable at http://www.toxtethparkcemetery.co.uk It gives lots of info, ie name, address, age, date of burial and others in the same grave. The site is still a work in process so others will be added.

I found this site on Saturday 27th Nov they have individual photos of graves. I emailed my Grt Grandfathers details, he died in France 1915 and got a reply today 29th Nov with two photos attached one of the grave yard and one of the grave.

There is no charge for this just a contact form to fill in WWW.britishwargraves.co.uk

Its probably old news for some, but today I found an interesting site called Genea Musings. a blog page authored by Randall Seaver.

What caught my eye was the topic "cousin bait"
He shares information on how best to attract people who are interested in your research.
Take a look and see what you think.

For New Zealand ancestry, The National Library of New Zealand(on-line) with an ask a librarian service I found really good when I was tracing long lost relatives. I have managed to find a few who emmigrated in 1922 from the UK. Still looking for a few others yet.
