Contributors

This collection of images is a unique resource showing many forgotten grave sites and burial places of people who have contributed to the history of  Western Australia.

The Western Australian Genealogical Society Inc. (WAGS) would like to sincerely thank everyone who has contributed to this collection of Western Australian Lonely Grave images.

The Yvonne and Kevin Coate image collection is the primary source of images on this website.

People that have contributed to the Coate collection, or directly to this website are mentioned in the list below. The number behind a contributors name refers to the number of images contributed.

Some images appear more than once on this website, e.g. where an image has more than one surname, the image will appear under each surname; some images are used for illustrative purposes; some images may appear under a surname as well as under a different category such as a Mine or Station, and will consequently appear more than once.

Attribution where known is also shown in the comments section on individual images.
