Witta Cemetery near Maleny, Sunshine Coast Queensland
« on: Thursday 04 November 10 12:29 GMT (UK) »
I am taking photographs of headstones at the Witta Cemetery which is near Maleny on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.

If anyone would like a photograph of a headstone from the Witta Cemetery please let me know because I may have it.  I haven't completed taking all the photographs as yet but I will get it done in time and if I don't have your photograph right now I can send it on to you later.

Hi,

Of the photos that I have taken so far I do not have any Jeffs.

There is a website online that is alittle out of date and it lists the names of people lying in this cemetery. There are no Jeffs mentioned.

I have not completed photographing all graves, so I will keep in mind your interest when next I am there to take photos.

Good luck

Gayle,

I have just come across your post regarding photos of the headstones in Witta Cemetery.  I was wondering if you have ones for Edwin Thomas Wilmington and Spencer Wilmington.

Thanks for you time.

Joanne.

Hello,
My great great grandfather, Kristen Kristian Rolandsen (d. 1908) is buried there. Do you have a photo of his gravestone? He emigrated from Denmark in 1900. Much appreciated.

Unfortunately Xanthe_Aust hasn't been on rootschat for about 8 years, but if she still has the same email address she will be notified of any replies on her thread. :)

Seeking0's suggestion of FindAGrave might be the best option though ....

You know about Trove?

And number from when he was still alive, including, presumably, your great great grandmother.

Maybe useful to some  https://www.queenslandfamilytrees.com/showmap.php?cemeteryID=3
Rolandsen, Kristen Died 31st, October 1908 has “No Headstone” but there is a Note on the site.
Notes: This is not complete, (a work in progress).
