Hi Sarndra

if you let me know which great grandfather you are after, I can send you a link to a scanned image of the cemetery plan and block in question.

There is now a 'lite' version for those who are restricted in regards to their connection speed at http://cem.rdc.govt.nz/CemeterySearch/default_lite.aspx
Not all of the functionality of the Silverlight version is available but a basic search is available.

Thanks for providing the text-only basic search because I was unable to view the graphics version at all. Connection speed was not my problem — I cannot run Silverlight 3.

Cheers

Hi Koromo

I was curious as to what hardware and OS you were using? (A Mac of some flavour I assume)

Thanks

Hi Ralph

I'm on a PPC iMac running MacOS 10.4 (Tiger) which is still supported by Apple so it's not that old!  Apparently I can run Silverlight v1 but the later versions require a Mac based on the Intel processor.

Never mind.  I was pleased to be able to access the cemetery records, and quickly found a couple of family members.

Cheers

Thanks Koromo for letting me know.

It makes for an interesting juggling act as to the systems to cater for. I will put some monitoring on the 'simple' search and search what range of OS and browser end up hitting it.

Ralph
can we disseminate this website? I am sure other people would be interested.
