Undertakers’ records: making the most of GSQ’s collection
October 5 @ 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM AEST
Rich or poor, the vast majority of Brisbane’s dead were buried by undertakers who noted details about the deceased and their families which are not recorded anywhere else. These records may provide linkages to as hospital admission registers, post office directories, newspapers not digitised on Trove etc. The purchases made by the family from the undertaker will tell you a lot more about them as will who paid the bill.
