Member Since: August 2017 Posts: 5 Send Message	I have been trying for some years to research my Great uncle Edward Rowlinson who emigrated to new zealand in 1923. He was born 1902 in Sheffield to Alfred and Ellen Rowlinson. He travelled on the remuera ship and settled in New Zealand, as yet I have had no success in locating where exactly he settled and did he have a family. Could anyone here help me with this mystery.

	The 'National Library of NZ' (on-line) has an 'Ask a Librarian' service - they will check their electoral rolls (past & present) and newspaper death notices. Valerie WAus

	Have you contacted the person who might have Edward in her tree on here? (Look in Search/Search All Member Trees - top right.)
