About the Website

Navigating the Website

The easiest way to find your way around our website is by using the Site Map. Use Ctrl-F (Find), or Command-F on a Macintosh, if you want to search the Site Map page.

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

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.

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.

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 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".
