New Zealand being a relatively young
country, it doesnt take many generations before most of us have to find
where we came from, what ship and when. Important things to know
before begining searching.
Know the year they settled in NZ, this can be calculated off the death
certificate. It states how long they have been in the country. What
area of NZ they settled in is usually a good indication of what port
they docked.
Many of the ships made many journeys in different years to different
parts of NZ so to save time searching passenger lists it is helpful
to know all you can.
There are many sites that feature shipping lists and Passenger lists,
but many are missing.
If you are lucky enough to be in a city with a good geneaology and research
section of your library or your local museum this would be a good place
to start or your local museum.
