Hutt Council Taita Cemetery database

[jericho]

I will also be watching for this resource to come on line, as there are some relatives buried in the Hutt cemetery that I have yet to find and a few more that I am hoping are buried there.

The following article appears on the Hutt City Council  web page:

"The upcoming on line burial database
 
We’re currently in the process of adding burial information for Taita Cemetery and the Wainuiomata Garden of Remembrance into a database which will be viewable on line.
 
This will be an essential tool for families trying to locate loved ones and for genealogists researching their family history. This is an extensive and ongoing project. We expect that it will be accessible to the public in about six to eight months."

I note the web page was last updated on 04/11/2010, which would be NINE months ago, so we live in hope.

I have emailed the Cemetery Office seeking information regarding some burials and shall post the outcome on here.

I have received encouraging news from the Hutt City Council.

  "Currently Council is about 2 months away from getting this information on line to the public.  It has been a very long process of data validation and entry and we are now at the stage where we are writing the web interface for our website.  There will be a link to the cemetery page on our website which will then have the link to the database when it is on line."

I received that information on 14 July, so roll on mid September 2011.

Thanks Kiskeam.   

I know, it's been "coming"  for what seems like ....  "forever".  This database will be a very much welcomed addition.   

... and to borrow from Newbe ... I repeat, "cool bananas"  !
