Title: Is Caversham Project database search still working?
Post by: Rakiura John on Wednesday 18 April 18 06:00 BST (UK)
Hi. I've been trying to do an Electoral Roll Search (in the Caversham Project website  https://caversham.otago.ac.nz/dbaccess/index.php ) but regardless of what I enter into the Search Criteria boxes, I get 169,234 results (which I'm guessing is the full database). Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong?
regards
John

Oh - I see what he means - the name of the person doesn't come up - just the whole lot!

I sent an email to them two days ago, but no reply yet.

In Minnie's link, and unless I am reading it wrong, doesn't it say the Project is now closed?

Yes, I was aware of that KHP but maybe worth a shot at trying to make contact?

As the message doesn't appear to have "bounced", hopefully a response may still be received.......
