"German" Headstones in Australia
This is an amazing personal project to document the burial place of German migrants. All headstone photos were taken by the owner of the website in 2006 and 2007 in Australia, if not pointed out otherwise. Indecipherable headstones are not listed. Only headstones with german/ slavic sounding inscriptions were copied.

German Australia
Although the owners of this site state This site was not designed for genealogical research, it is certainly true that a family historian with German ancestors will find much that is useful as background information. Sections include factors at home that lead to the desire to emigrate and a description of the advertising by the Australian colonies that attracted them. Each page is displayed both auf Deutsch and in English for those who may like to practice rusty language skills.
