ATTENTION:- If you have ancestors who arrived in Wellington by the ship EDWIN FOX in 1875, we would be very keen on hearing from you. The only passenger list available for this sailing lists "heads of families", "single men" and "single women". We have been able to gather some extra information from various sources to enhance it but would love to add children's names, ages of family members, where born and occupations. Please e-mail us at dapw@globe.co.nz with the subject line Edwin Fox and we look forward to hearing from you.

The amount of information on our website has meant that we have had to split some off.
We have started moving most of our Auckland lists and information from our main site to
"DENISE and PETERS AUCKLAND STUFF"

Hello folks and a very warm welcome to our Homepage. We hope that you will find something here that will inform, interest and entertain you. We are interested in family history and also in the early history of New Zealand and in the many stories we have found there.

If you are searching for a particular name or piece of information, enter the word or phrase into the search engine above & press the "Find" button. To help with your search try the following suggestions for entering a search string:
      1) Select the most appropriate single word or phrase to search on. Do not try entering a sentence.
      2) If entering a phrase try using "quotes". This will ensure the engine will return only examples of  the phrase and not each occurrence of  
          each word in the phrase (ie entering John Smith without quotes will return every John and every Smith found).
      3) Most of our names are SURNAME followed by CHRISTIAN name. Try searching in this order using quotes (ie "Smith John").
