CEMETERIES

CEMETERIES in the CLUTHA DISTRICT

 

We are working away updating our cemeteries, including photographing graves and available records.  As these are done they will be added to our CEMETERIES DATABASE.  Please be patient with us – we are a small team of volunteers

 

Please see below information regarding each cemetery within our region. Click on the cemetery name for helpful information of those we have completed and a plan of cemetery.

 

At present the two cemeteries, Clinton and Purekireki, is available to search - please read tips below before searching   

SEARCH CEMETERY DATABASE  

 

Tips for Searching Database

You can search for an individual cemetery and specific name/s, years and ages.

You can search on names by Contains, Is Exactly, Starts with and Sounds like.  Use these to pick up different spellings of names.

If your search doesn’t return results remove specifics or widen the search criteria.

Click on the name link of results to bring up details

Images available may be clicked on and opened as larger image and can be saved to your computer by right clicking on the image – select ‘Save Image As’

At the bottom of the record is a link to print the record page

Available paper records have been photographed – email us to request an image help.desk@genealogy.org.nz

From the details at right you can search the same surname within the same cemetery

You can also search the same plot

Keep in mind that the database will only return what is currently in the records and the spellings contained in these records. Many cemeteries have patchy early records. Transcriptions are recorded as in records with any further information added as a separate entry.

ALWAYS seek original record where possible, and more than one record source for the information.

 

 

As each cemetery is completed the updated index will be added to the website.  At present current transcription indexes (names only) are contained within the MASTER INDEX.  So if the cemetery and/or burial that you are seeking is not in the DATABASE please use the MASTER INDEX.  Please do not hesitate to contact us if this index does not include the person you are seeking and we will help you. 

 

We offer images of graves and headstones and in some case a cropped image of the record.  There is no charge for our cemetery service.  If you wish the images to be printed and posted this will cost $5 per photo plus P&P. 

 

To request a transcription and/or image/s contact us at Please let us know of any we have missed, or are incorrect please contact us help.desk@balcluthagenealogy.org.nz  Please include cemetery name and name/s wanted.  Remember we are also happy to do a full research query for you.  We request reimbursement of costs (copying, P&P etc) and welcome a donation.
