There is a whisper in the trees at the Taita Cemetery.

Good to hear.

They must almost be the last council to get their database ONLINE!

Will definately be well received.

But be aware that they have been promising this will be available in three months time since Feb 2010 !!!

For my "sins" of regularly asking the Local Authority for a progress report, I have been fortunate to receive some downloads from the system that will go live....when it goes live!!.

The format of the downloads I received were vastly better than those of any other site I have downloaded from.

Also if you have the name of a person there is provision on the Council web page to email the Sexton.  I have always found the responses timely and informative but not as detailed as the protypes.

Edit: Yes I meant 2012 sorry about that

Janine Jones at Hutt City Council says

"pleased to advise you that it is due to be released online on 7 February 2012."

Yes I meant 2012. Finding it hard to read with new glasses as was given normal lenses. Am not used to them.

While researching a different enquiry I recently spoke to the Hutt City Council Archives and took the opportunity to ask about their plan to present cemetery records online.

I was told that records prior to 1965 are incomplete and that shortly a data correction project will commence in an effort to correct the gaps in information.

The person I spoke to was very wary of committing to any date in February for information to be available online.
