:Justin Corfield’s book incorporates some of, perhaps the British English language burial entries of, three of the four volumes of the book by P.C. Bloys van Treslong Prins, ''Genealogische en heraldische gedenkwaardigheden betreffende Europeanen op Java'', [''Genealogical and heraldic memorabilia relating to Europeans in Java''] published 1934-1939, but not Volume 4, published in Batavia in 1939 and not widely available due to WW2. Volume 4 appears to be available at the [[British Library]], UIN: BLL01002992238 (note the BL appears to be missing Volume 3), and Volume 4 is also included, together with the first three volumes, in the USB stick mentioned below from IGV (Dutch language). Note that the FamilySearch catalogue, see following, states that the information has been "transcribed from gravestones", but it appears additional sources have been included.
*The FamilySearch catalogue of microfilms/digitised microfilms includes the following
**"Genealogische en heraldische gedenkwaardigheden betreffende Europeanen op Java" (stated to be "Genealogical and heraldic information transcribed from gravestones in European cemeteries in Java") [https://familysearch.org/search/catalog/65715 catalogue entry] Volumes 1-3 of the book by P. C. Bloys van Treslong Prins, mentioned above. Note these have been digitisedand are currently (2021/04/06) available to view on your home computer, but you must be signed in to FamilySearch. The three volumes are the first three items on the film. Mainly Dutch language, although if the cemetery inscriptions were originally in English, the transcriptions also are in English. Each volume contains an index of names which appears at the beginning of each filmed volume (although from the page numbering probably comes from the back of the book). Volume 1 1934. Volume 2 (1936) commences image no. 258, and Volume 3 (1938) commences image 516, ending image 773. There are generally two printed pages per image. The FamilySearch microfilm does '''not ''' include Volume 4 (1939) which is however available for viewingat the British Library, so currently are only or on a USB stick to buy from IGV, see below. The impression (subject to language difficulties) is that each additional volume contains new information which has become available if you can locate a microfilmsince the previous edition.
