Tips

• Start with Yourself & work backwards.
• Always write information on an Ancestry Chart & the Sources in a brightly covered book, NOT on back of an envelope or shopping list!
• Prior to 1880 NZ marriage certificates had no information about parent's place of birth.
• Marriage certificates are most likely to be more accurate - hopefully the bride & groom were both sober; knew their parent's names; and were telling the truth!
• Try to obtain as much information as possible locally & if possible obtain marriage certificates from the church.
