« on: Saturday 01 August 20 21:13 BST (UK)  »
'In Memoriam - Mission Ground Cemetery 1840-2010' Volumes Two and Three have been published and the complimentary copies dispatched to the recipients.

All three volumes of the 'In Memoriam' series can be obtained from the Copy Press in Nelson. The book shop is at copypress.co.nz/product-category/history/new-zealand-history/

Many thanks to all who contributed to this long-running project.

Great news! The book designer, who is making good progress on the layout for In Memoriam Volumes Two and Three, has advised she is able to work from home during New Zealand's impending lock down against the pandemic. Maybe the books will go to print this year after all.

Two further volumes of 'In Memoriam - Mission Ground Cemetery 1840-2010' will go to print within the next few months. The attached pdf shows the names of the people whose stories are included, sorted by volume, in alphabetical order.

Inverness / Re: Ranald macdonald 1762. ??? flora MacDonald

Hi
I know your query was years ago, but I'm descended from Ranald MacDonald (1762-1851) and have just discovered through a DNA match that his father was Allan 7th Kingsburgh Macdonald, who was the great Flora MacDonald's husband.

At first I thought she must have been Ranald's mother and was over-the-moon with excitement, then discovered her son Ranald was born in 1756 and died in 1782, unmarried, and left his estate to his male colleagues and associates.

Disappointing, but it's been fun!

Cheers
Joan

Greetings
Here is a list of the names, sorted by category, as at 18 February 2015.
Please be aware that the data is in a constant state of change.
We are keen to know:
  • if anyone on the list should not be there
  • if anyone who should be there is missing
Also, if anyone would like to share information to help enrich these peoples' life stories in the second volume of 'In Memoriam - Mission Ground Cemetery 1840-2010', that would be wonderful.
Many thanks for bringing this forum to my attention and for any information your community can provide.
Warm regards
Jayzelle

Super to see this posted, thank you. The names currently on the Find a Grave site are only those already recorded on the memorial cairn. I will find a way to make the list of the additional names identified since the cairn was engraved available online. Once I have confirmation or otherwise the names are correct, I'll update Find a Grave with the 'final' list. The cemetery was also known as Waiarohia, Rust Lane, Rust Ave and Whangarei cemetery.
