The New Zealand Genealogist
The New Zealand Genealogist is your opportunity to discover more about family history with a New Zealand emphasis. Published quarterly, it promotes the study of genealogy, and contains articles of interest to members, as well as new members' interests, advertisements, and members' queries.
Members are encouraged to submit articles on their research or 'how to's'. We have themes for each issue but articles on any topic are welcome. For further information on submissions see our Editor's Notes.
