	Sorry for appearing thick, (excuse me I'm a newby), but how do I find the grave or burial place of a relly?

	HI Angela, on the death certificates in Queensland ( where I live) the cemetery is listed, you could also check obituary notices in the newspapers - if you know where and when, or your state records office, we were all newbies once. Darlene

	Darl, the cemetery is only listed on Australian certificates, not on English ones.
