The aim of this project is to record all headstone inscriptions in South Africa, together with information of interest from neighbouring countries, as a guide to researchers. The data also contains burial registers and memorials. A CD containing this information is made available annually as a product of the GSSA.

Data Co-ordinators are Peter and Beverley Moss, and a team of volunteer recorders and data processors.

The new CD6 contains 269 233 names from 2277 cemeteries. Please contact Andre Heydenrych at aheydenr@mweb.co.za to order.

If you do notice any errors in the data, kindly inform us so that these can be corrected: email peter.moss@mweb.co.za . Thank you.

The files below focus on the following information:

1. "Cem query" lists all cemeteries and shows processing status
2. "Doc Query" lists all cemeteries with names of Recorder and Submitter. Note that, because of revisions and updates, one "Cemetery" may contain many documents, possibly from different Recorders
3. "Homepage Monthly Doc Query" records the Documents added to the Cemetery Index for the previous month
4. "Homepage Monthly Names Query" records the cemeteries where names were added to the database in the previous month.
5. "Report Graph" provides information on data processing progress as at the end of the month stated.
6. Copies of our quarterly newsletters are also included for information. To subscribe, please contact the Editor, John Schwartz, at johns@timco.co.za
