Profiles

Good day,
I am in the process of working through the Old Cemetery based in Hermannsburg, KZN. The grave names have faded or are completely lost on some of the graves. If you have any information on this cemetery and who is buried here please could you get in touch with me.

If you would like to assist in this project please let me know.

At this stage I have created an excel spreadsheet using the names on the information board at the cemetery along with photos from the eggsa website (https://www.graves-at-eggsa.org/main.php?g2_itemId=2325697) and those taken by myself in March of this year (see photos). I am trying to find the correct date of birth, confirm the date of death, the parent names and where relevant the spouse names - I then add these profiles to geni.com. Once a profile has been made I try and find documents such as Baptism/ Birth records, marriage and death records and include these in the overview tab along with the grave image if there is one. My photos will be added to eggsa website as soon as possible.

If you have some photos of this cemetery or of the graves and wouldn't mind sharing them please could you send them to me.

Below are a list of the names of those believed to be buried here (I tried to put the information into columns but didn't succeed):

  • Where there is only one date this is the date of Death (DOD)
  • Date of Birth is indicated by DOB and is in the first instance following the name
  • DOB - in some cases there may be a Year (J) Month (M) and Day (T) given - this is taken from the headstone.
