Hi Has anyone got a copy that they no longer need - only want the Family Notices for my collection. Happy to pay costs. Thanks Sue

I agree that Beverley is doing a wonderful job with all the cemeteries she has been photographing. I know from my experience of doing all the Dunedin cemeteries that the easiest and quickest part is the actual taking of the photo. It is the downloading, cropping and naming the photo that takes the time but the end results are very rewarding. I also had the advantage of having a copy of the DCC database in Block and Plot order which I don't think Beverley will have from CCC. Hopefully some other list member may volunteer to help Beverley with Waimairi as it is a very large cemetery. Keep up the wonderful work Beverley.

Please give us an idea how many hours you spent photographing the graves? How many hours placing the data online? Probably double the time putting the data online. How many headstones? How many headstones not in good repair? approx. %? Any hand made headstones? I was able to correct a couple of spelling mistakes with Waimairi vs Waimari.

Olwyn Many thanks for posting this, it's a resource I had no idea existed. For me, an especiallyAn emotional read, some of the letters clearly detail deaths in the same battle that my father was injured in. He was a lucky one and survived. As far as I can figure out, some of these were in closely related units, and would have been the mates and events he never spoke about. Thanks again, and if there are more I'd love to read them.

Hi List On Tuesday 10 January 2017 we never received the NZ Herald in Tauranga (press problems). I believe some of the Auckland folk got their copy, so hoping that there is somebody finished with the “Family Notices” for that day that would consider sending the one or two pages to me. Happy to cover postage. Only need the Family Notices (Births, Deaths etc). Please contact me if you can help and I will supply my address. Thank you. Heather Tauranga

I am in the process of adding my father WW11 to the Cenotaph data base, however downloading and filling in form (in various ways) has not worked. So its snail mail. However if someone is already downloaded, anyone can amend details. Backed up by documentation of course. Go for the change. cheers penne ----- Original Message ----- From: "Olwyn Whitehouse" <[email protected]> To: "new-zealand" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2017 6:14 AM Subject: [nz] Auckland WM online Cenotaph - any update on WW2 records? > What is their plan? > Auckland WM online Cenotaph > http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/war-memorial/online-cenotaph > > Is R.H.

Hello Beverley, Thank you for tackling such a large cemetery. Please give us an idea how many hours you spent photographing the graves? How many hours placing the data online? Probably double the time putting the data online. How many headstones? How many headstones not in good repair? approx. %? Any hand made headstones? I was able to correct a couple of spelling mistakes with Waimairi vs Waimari. There is one I couldn't find George Stanley Straughon GOODALL, Gladys Goodall husband. I see you have Jessie Mackay there. quotation on her headstone is taken from the first and last lines of this poem. A SHEEP MAN'S PRAYER Lord of the sheep in the upland ways, The snow locked plains and rocks And the mazy, dazzling drift that kills, Have mercy on thy flocks Lord of the men that fear and seek, Thyself went seeking too, For frozen hearts in a drift of sin Fight thou our battle through! Lord, hear the saddest wind on earth, The one that moans and mocks The mid-most mirk of the shepherd's night Have mercy on thy flocks. by Jessie Mackay THANK YOU for placing the list out online Olwyn.

The New Zealand Memorial Cross is awarded to the next ofkin of all New Zealand servicemen and women who were killed while on warservice or operational service overseas, or who subsequently died of woundsreceived while on war service or operational service overseas, since thecommencement of the Second World War. Two versions of the New Zealand Memorial Cross have beenstruck: one during the reign of King George VI, and one during the reign ofQueen Elizabeth II. The King George VI cross is worn from a thin purplecoloured ribbon suspended around the neck, while the Queen Elizabeth II crossis worn as a brooch. The King George VI New Zealand Memorial Cross has beenawarded to the families of the more than 11,000 personnel who died whileserving in the New Zealand Armed Forces during the Second World War.  The Queen Elizabeth II New Zealand MemorialCross has been awarded to the families of the 136 New Zealand militarypersonnel who have died while on operational service since 3 September 1945. Up to two New Zealand Memorial Crosses are issued to thefamily of each individual.  For deaths during the Second World War the first crosswas awarded in the late 1940s or the 1950s to the mother.  If the mother was deceased the first crosswas awarded to the father, or if he was also deceased to the eldest sister, orthe eldest brother if the military service person had no living sisters. Asecond cross was awarded to the widow, eldest daughter or eldest son (in thatorder of precedence). If the deceased military service person was not marriedand had no children only one Memorial Cross was issued. See: http://medals.nzdf.mil.nz/category/f/f2.html Stuart ParkKerikeri, New [email protected]

First of all Jocelyn are we talking about the Legacy Family Tree program from Millennia? If we are their latest version is this: Installed Version: 8.0.0.586 of 7 Dec 2016. I have no problems with it.  It may be better to use Legacy's Help from the Legacy program itself or pick up the Legacy User Group mailing list here: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/LegacyLists.asp (copy and paste) or I'm pretty sure there's an archive there you can search for your problem.

THE FERNGLEN IMMIGRANTS. BY TELEGRAPH-PER PRESS AGENCY. Wellington, Jan 8. The Evening Chronicle, referring to the remainder o the *Fernglen* 's immigrants, says : — The local immigration officer made strenuous endeavour to persuade them to go to Wanganui and Foxton, where demand exists for persons of their class, but to no purpose. They said that as their friends lived on the West Coast they would rather go there. It is not yet too late for them to re-consider their foolish determination, and we trust they will have common sense to alter their mind at once. The West Coast of South Island is at present, without exception, the poorest place in the Australian Colonies. People who lived there ten or twelve years left when they could manage to get away. Speaking with intimate acquaintance of the West Coast, we may say to these immigrants that it would be better for them to return to their native country than go there.

I had read somewhere that 'the authorities' then tried to send some of the immigrants to Wanganui which was deemed to be suitable 'for that class of person ' Ray On Mon, Jan 9, 2017 at 6:07 PM, Gwyneth Watson <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I had no idea a ship could be turned away regardless of why.
