| 522149 | 2007-02-03 06:42:00 | Nigel I too have found such a site in the past, but can't remember which link led me to it. Google gives so many options it can take ages to follow links, but I suggest the NZ Society of Genealogists home page is the best starter for what you want.. |

| 522152 | 2007-02-03 07:05:00 | Yes, I know full well it's always worth a try here - for lots of things.. A warning, though - I remember the no. of NZ newspapers who'd put old death notices online was very limited. Just those whose local genealogy groups had done it voluntarily. Cemetery records from local bodies are also hit & miss for the same reason - though I could skite about Dunedin's, which are now wonderful. A search with just a surname brings up all candidates back to about 1850. |

| 522153 | 2007-02-03 08:07:00 | Auckland Library & Auckland Museum have paper records. Won't help you tho. Sorry. I have been there & used them. Another place I tried was the "Church Records Place" across from Auckland Cathedral, can recommend that as well. Cannot remember it's proper name. PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||
| 522154 | 2007-02-03 09:05:00 | NZ Herald might be able to assist. Unfortunately the only place I can find that has the NZ Herald archives back that far is the Auckland Public Library and as i don't know the month of death that would be quite a Microfiche to look through Although it does appear "Archives New Zealand, Auckland Regional Office" has a copy of his probate, any ideas as to what info that would have |

| 522156 | 2007-02-03 09:17:00 | IIRC The Archives NZ main website gives info on probate details. I think the keyword is Archway. |
