Hi ngairedith, There is a listing of cemeteries on Family Tree Circles linked to Find a Grave for a Waitakere Cemetery. The cemetery name is Waikumete Cemetery not Waitakere.http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=2166897&CScn=Waikumete&CScntry=85& The Waitakere entries belong under Waikumete Cemetery and Crematorium. Waitakere was the city name but this area is now part of Auckland City New Zealand. There never has been a cemetery called Waitakere Cemetery. The entries can be found here in the search site for Waikumete Cemetery and Crematorium.http://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/EN/parksfacilities/cemeteries/Pages/westcemeterysearch.aspx If you look on the map on this page you will see that it is Waikumete Cemetery and Crematorium. So all those folk recorded on the Waitakere list should be on Waikumete. Hope this makes sense! Cheers, Ruth Snashall.
