PARUA BAY: Archive

Parua Bay is on the Whangarei harbour, just over 100km north of Auckland. It's a very impressive harbour with the monolithic Mount Manaia towering over the narrow entrance, and the combined oild refenery and log export facility on the opposite shore.

The actual town is at the very top of the harbour butthere are numerous little bays and settlements scattered along its shores. Parua Bay is one such and to find it you need to drive to Onerahi, where the airport is, but turn off on the road that travels east alongside the harbour.

The cemetery is located on a quite steep ridge overlooking the bay and if you've driven there in a car there's very few places to park. It is however filled with a lot of pioneers whose names have subsequently been spread over Northland.

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.

To find a person enter the surname in the target box and presss ENTER. This will list every case of that surname across all cemeteries. To list all persons in a particular cemetery enter the name of the cemetery and change the pull-down option immediately to the left from LAST NAME to CEMETERY then ENTER.
