Hi All: Adele asked about the BDM office in Wellington. BDMs and Passports have been relocated to the basement of the National Library in Vogel Street near Molesworth Street, where they are operating on trestle tables by the basement entrance in a conference room (so presumably only temporary). I understand that there are problems with the owner of the building in Featherston Street or with the building! I have not been to see the temporary office, but have noticed them when going to the National Library. The National Library itself was closed for a short time because of demolition of the building in Molesworth Street, and many of the collections are not available. Yours, John Wilson https://natlib.govt.nz/visiting/wellington/were-open-again Thank you for John giving us an update for Archives, but my query is for another office in Wellington, were they affected by the quake... B.D. Marriages Office, as I had until 22 Nov to send a package down, to help them sort out a muddle over a name or two.. long story, but last thing I was told the lady in question to read it all (pages and pages and certificates) had not had time to rad it as yet and this was before Christmas.. I am in hurry for this, as know darn well it will be interesting when its sorted out...then can tell anyone who its about (now deceased) I may take the easy way out and give it to Robert for his website... which I am already doing with other stories.. I couldnt get down to deliver the package in person so it had to go courier to them, but I know they received it.. Thanks Adele Pentony-Graham
