One of BACSA’s key objectives is to record the names of the persons buried in cemeteries so that there will be a written memorial even when, as will sadly be inevitable in many cases, the gravestone or even the entire cemetery will have disappeared. A series of Cemetery Record Books contains the results of this work for over forty cemeteries. Many are still available from Â鶹´«Ã½Books (address above). All may be consulted in the British Library, the other UK copyright libraries, and the Society of Genealogists. Second-hand copies may be available via the internet, or BACSA’s second-hand booklist (for members).

Â鶹´«Ã½will continue to publish new record books when it has accumulated sufficient data on a cemetery to justify publication. A digitised index to all the cemetery books has been created and uploaded into our burials database which you can check to discover whether you have an ancestor buried in a cemetery covered by a Record Book.
