It usually comprises a small article of local interest, a family photograph, queries from researchers and information about forth-coming genealogy events, reunions, etc. The service is free and anyone may participate. Queries should be sent to me at the address below and in general should relate to the Otago and Dunedin area. Please write clearly and PRINT surnames in capital letters. Send clear photograph copies only. Black & white photocopies are not suitable for newspaper reproduction but laser copies are quite cheap and very satisfactory. Include SAE for a copy of the printed page, for return of photos and for any other information that may arise. If a contact phone number, e-mail, fax addresses and an offer to refund postage or phone costs is included, a reply is more likely to be forthcoming. A good percentage of success has been achieved. If you belong to a genealogy group you may wish to put this on the noticeboard. Mrs Shirley Hay 13 Beach St St Clair, Dunedin, 9001 New Zealand. e-mail: smhay@xtra.co.nz; fax: 03.455.2661.

This site is an absolute brainwave, and has the potential to be one of the best websites around, and on all of our favourites along GENUKI. This site is basically a portal for freely available databases and records. Yes, a one stop site where you can search a multitude of database, with records from many different sources. The search mechanism is easy to use, I found it a little slow at times, but quick enough, and returning good results. The results come with a full explanation of source, which is fantastic. There is already a vast amount of records on the site, and it appears to be growing quickly. The site is extremely easy to navigate, and the design is very professional and pleasing on the eye. I was not asked for payment at any point (although of course there may be undiscovered parts that need payment!) This site is absolutely fantastic, and one of the best I have ever found. My advise is to visit straight away! From GENUKI Family History News UK http://www.british-genealogy.com/resources/census/index.htm This excellent page will be a help to all those beginning family history research in Britain. The site details censuses, and how they were taken, what information they held and how useful they will be to family research. There is information on registration districts, folios, and lots of other information that will be extremely useful. Easy to navigate and well designed this is a site, certainly when starting out, you should have bookmarked. An excellent research help.
