Living in New Zealand's capital city, Wellington, I have access to the widest range of research resources available in New Zealand. National Archives for Intention to Marry notices, government records, passenger shipping records, military service, land records, probate index. The Alexander Turnbull Library, the research core of the National Library, which houses a huge collection of manuscripts and archives, early New Zealand newspapers, pictorial and photographic material of people and places, and the most comprehensive collection of books and serials relating to New Zealand in the country. The Turnbull also houses a large collection of maps relating to New Zealand and the Pacific. The Museum of New Zealand collections of archives and photographs.
Church records from the Wellington dioceses.
No inquiry is too small, or too large, and I am happy to give an outline of the usual sources available to me in the undertaking of a particular piece of research. My usual fees are NZD14.00 per hour, or GB 5.00 per hour, or USD 7.00 per hour. British customers are able to pay the fee directly into my UK bank account. Otherwise, payment is requested by international money order. Rates for larger contracts by negotiation.
