Hi Beth, I've been a member of the New Zealand Society of Genealogists (NZSG) for many years. For anyone who doesn't already know, their web site is at https://www.genealogy.org.nz/ To view members-only features at the web site, log in as a member. But there's also a lot to see if you're not a current member, so have a good look around. The Certificates Collection is excellent, and good use of this alone can be worth the cost of your annual membership. See more information about it at Resources > Collections > NZSG Certificates. You will find an index to the Certificates Collection's holdings on the Kiwi Collection, which you can purchase through the web site - note this is a resource for members only. Shop > Members Only Products. I don't know what you've been told about Ancestry, but NZSG does not give you access to that any more than any other person with or without a personal subscription. But you do get access to the Gale Newspapers, and Discovery (The National Archives' online documents). Again, these are under Resources in the menu on the web site, along with the Certificates Collection. NZSG also has its own mailing list, which I administer. You can ask about the society and its resources, and your own research queries there. If you'd like to join it, send an email to [email protected] asking to be added, and include your name and membership number. Hope this helps. :-) wendy aotueka wrote on 29/08/2016 10:24 PM: > Evening all.I am getting so frustrated! Hoping that someone can assist.I have just joined the NZSG.

BUT I cannot find anything on their website.I can log in but it is a most unfriendly site!Anyone know why I am struggling with this site? Is there another site for members that I don't know about? Please help.Beth >
