Overview of Overseas Resources
Everyone will, at some point in their genealogical research, find family that came from outside of New Zealand. It may be very recent or a long time ago. These resources give you a starting point for your research. They are not intended to be definitive, as there is already a number of useful resources available. Note: The following are available to NZSG members only. Not a member? Join here.
Please note that some websites provided in these resources will require you to have an account, others will require an account and a subscription.
NZSG members get free access to Gale Newspapers and free downloads of digital content on Discovery (The National Archives UK).
The Family Research Centre (FRC) in Pamure has access to the following subscription websites and databases available remotely through our Research Service: Ancestry, Australian State Gazettes, Vital Records, AGCI, British Newspaper Archive, Findmypast, Fold3, Huguenot Records of Quarto Series, Irish Tithe Defaulters 1881, MyHeritage, and the Genealogist.
There are further databases held on CD-Rom which can be found by searching the Library Catalogue.
