Further details of many of these database indexes may be available through the Geelong Family History Group.

Make sure you look at the two Research Options on their website and most importantly follow the link to the GFHG Research Files Catalogue List to check for these or many more indexes and documents.

• Christ Church, Geelong Burial Register Book 2 - card index produced by Tony Miller and Daryl Wight [source: Genealogical Society of Victoria]
• Geelong Eastern Cemetery burials - family history information added by Pam Jennings
• The above indexes and data were combined to produce a new index for Christ Church Burial Register Book 2

• NAME: person buried
• DATE: of burial [the Burial Register, Book 2 covers the dates 27 Aug 1863 to 20 Jan 1902]
• COMMENT: where available, includes Date of death, Age, and comments from index cards and family history sources.  Where information differs between the two sources, a comment explains the different Christ Church Burial Register data
• REFERENCE DETAIL: Book and page numbers for the Christ Church burial register

• 3,408 entries

No further information is available from the card index - further details may be available from the Geelong Cemeteries Trust.

In the future it is possible that Book 1 may be added to this database.
