Hi Coral It is a pleasure. It was hard work over almost a weeks worth of photographing almost 5000 graves. Out of the 30 000 people buried there it was noted that 20% of headstones had fallen over or were broken, 20% of graves had headstones at all and 10% were unmarked gravves - so you can figure that there is almost a 50% loss of names in that cemetery. I could not find my great great grandmother's grave who was one of the first people buried their and strange as it may be I remeber seeing it in the last 5 years. I am told that there are no records for the early burials. So we need to make sure that these are photographed for posterity. If anyone would like to be a volunteer and either become a "friend of the crypt" or help tag images, please email me at [email protected] thanks to all our existing volunteers. regards Heather Heather MacAlister Channel Manager Tel:021 446 5200 Fax:+27 (0)86 581 0390 www.ancestry24.co.za Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/ancestry24 Skype: Ancestry24 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] on behalf of Coral Anna Foster Sent: Fri 14/05/2010 07:35 PM To: south africa Subject: Re: [SOUTH-AFRICA-CAPE-TOWN] Plumstead Cemetery Images available Thanks Heather, I've now sene my maternal grandfather's resitng place, found out that a school pal is buried in the cemetery and the mother of another friend!
