Local authorities administer most of the cemeteries in the Southland region, although several of the smaller cemeteries are adminstered by trusts. The 3 local authorities and their general locations are displayed on the map at right.
Gore District Council - 29 Civic Avenue, PO Box 8, Gore 9740. Phone 03-209 0330 Fax 03-209 0357.
The Council maintains a Cemetery Database of cemeteries in the Southland District area (but excludes Invercargill City and Gore District Cemeteries). The cemetery database is now available online on the Southland District Council website: www.southlanddc.govt.nz/cemeteries/. Contact their Knowledge Management Department for further information.
Over the years, Southland Branch volunteers have transcribed and indexed school APWs (Admissions, Progressions and Withdrawals) from most of the Southland and a few Otago school registers. These have been included in the Society's Kiwi Index v1 CD, issued in 2012.
The list of schools so indexed can be viewed by downloading a file in PDF format which lists about 145 Southland schools and the approximate dates of the registers indexed.
You can download a copy of the list of schools indexed by the Southland Branch by clicking the little school icon at left.
