Genealogical Research ::: New Zealand

Whether you need help getting started, or you would like your family tree fully researched for you, I am able to help you. I have had over 15 years experience doing genealogical research both in New Zealand and overseas.

I specialise in obtaining information regarding families that lived in New Zealand, but I am skilled in accessing research data from around the world.

I can present you with an attractive folder, containing the family tree, photos and important dates in an easy-to-read booklet format. (see example of a page completed for a client)

I am happy to help with aspects of your research, I have a large database of records that I can search e.g.
