About the Website

Welcome to our website which went live on 1 June 2021. We hope you enjoy looking around and exploring all the features.

NZSG members will see a lot more content once logged in. (Previously the Members Only menu items showed to everyone but had a padlock to show they were locked.) Members can update their own details under "My NZSG - Manage".

Home Page

To return to the Home Page click on the NZSG logo in the masthead.

Arrow back or changing the URL address to genealogy.org.nz also works.

Searching the Website

We don't currently have a search function on the website, but if you do a search on Google for "NZSG:xxx" where xxx is your search term, you will generally find the page you are looking for, e.g. look at the results for NZSG:DNA.

Account2Account Payments

We now have account2account payment on our website which means that you can pay directly from your bank account for your subscription, Kiwi Collection and Shop orders. Read instructions for Account2Account payments.

Members Interests

If you want to update your Members Interests, you can do this under Research - Members Interests - Manage Interests.

Broken Links

If you come across any links that don't work, please email the Webmaster.

Website Issues

Shop Purchases

If you are having trouble purchasing something in our Shop and it wants to update your details, make sure both Physical and Postal address are ticked on the Address tab.

Kiwi Collection

Some people have had problems accessing the Kiwi after subscribing. The main reason is related to "filters" you have assigned to your web browser, causing the Kiwi to be blocked with a pop-up message. Check the address line of your web browser as depicted below and select “Allow pop-ups for genealogy.org.nz".
