Welcome to the New Zealand Society of Genealogists

We are your first point of call for New Zealand family history and genealogical research. Whether you are new to genealogy or have years of experience building your family tree, we can provide research resources and educational opportunities to help you develop your family history knowledge and skills. We also welcome volunteers who are keen to share their knowledge and experience with others.
