KOHUKOHU: Archive

Kohukohu at one time shared relevance with Rawene as one of the most important towns in northern New Zealand, situated on the north shore of the Hokianga harbour, while Rawene is on the south shore. Today it is a sleepy collection of old houses huddled on the edge of a harbour inlet of the muddy waters of the Hokianga Harbour. The vehicular ferry that runs between Rawene and Kohukohu is several kilometers further on, but originally, before silting and sawmill operations changed the environment it had its own wharves capable of taking large sailing ships.

The cemetery is located on steep hillside above the small settlement and barely visible through the trees and other growth. As you leave the main street to head towards the ferry the access road abruptly angles steeply on your right and perhaps a hundred meters up that road you will have to find somewhere to park...

We have now gone to a live on-line database called MOP ('Myra's Other Place') and the records listed below are steadily being copied over. Once a record is there a green tick will show alongside the entry. The MOP database has a lot more than just cemetery records and is worth checking out here where you can log in as Guest password guest.

Once logged in you have to select the HEADSTONES menu option, then enter your search target in the box. If that is a Surname the result will be a list of cemeteries where that name or similar can be found. Make a search EXACT by selecting that option on the pull-down menu (Brown versus Browne) or there are advanced options for those who want to be more specific.

If you want to know who might be in a given cemetery enter that cemetery name in the search box and change the pull-down menu for the next box to the left to show CEMETERY before pressing the 'go' arrow...
