I know and it is a pain in the backside when a majority of your heritage is NZ and well the side that knows about it have passed on..... It doesn't take einstein to know that eventually I will lead back to the UK/Ireland/Scotland. Whats more frustrating is that I am in Aust and it is hard to trace.

I live in New Zealand. What information do you require.

Dept. of Internal Affairs, Wellington, for births,, deaths& marriages.
Christchurch City Library has a good research depart,ment, as I believe does Auckland.

The Mormon Church has a centre in Christchurch.
