Hi Karen and everyone, I think you'd probably be well-served on the general New Zealand list Hugh has set up, which is at https://groups.io/g/newzealand Before the news of the mailing lists being closed came up, there hadn't been a post to this list since 2011. If, after a while, you think you'd like a separate list after all, and you're prepared to be an active particpant in the conversations there, please let me know and I can set up a list for it. Or you can do it yourself - it doesn't have to be me who is the admin.

Dear Wendy, I do apologise for not having responded to your emails on the rootsweb mailing list situation. I cannot specifically recall when I joined it, except to know I would have been searching for info on my ancestors who were early settlers and Onehunga residents. They were the Denize family (John and Hannah) who migrated to NZ from Jersey, CI in 1855. I certainly would like to continue being on any mailing list that covers Onehunga early settlers, and don’t mind which list or lists that is. As I am resident in Cyprus, not NZ, my contribution would be limited.

Hi Wendy, I agree with Bret Busby's following suggestion that we setup the NZ-Onehunga list as a subgroup of the New Zealand list that Hugh has already migrated to groups.io. There are other low traffic NZ groups that is would also be nice to see under the one banner. I think at the moment Hugh has only set himself up as a moderator so he could probably do with a couple of co-moderators. The Norway List has also gone to groups.io and we currently have 5 moderators setup for it. Thanks for stepping up to do something to keep the group up and running. Regards David Halverson.

Hi Kathryn, > I have a missing BARNES family...born Middlesex, London. > Father was Dr John Alexander BARNES. > Three sons Henry (b. 1859); Alfred (b.1860); John (1862). > Family rumour has these children living in New Zealand as adults. > So far I have located Alfred Barnes with wife Emma and seven children. Have you looked at BDM Online - Historical Records (https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/Home/) for records that match your people? You can purchase copies of registrations on that site. Be sure to get the printout, not the legal certificate, for family history purposes. (I explain why at http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/NEW-ZEALAND/2010-04/1272342580) Do check at https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/dataCollected/ to see exactly what information should have been gathered at the time of the event. Some of the earlier registrations (such as marriages before 1880) don't contain sufficient data to be considered useful to us family historians, so it's a waste of money to buy a copy. If you're a member of the New Zealand Society of Genealogists (NZSG, http://www.genealogy.org.nz/), make use of their Certificates Collection before purchasing from BDM - it's much cheaper, and a good use of your society membership. I don't see any entries on the NZSG CD "New Zealand Combined Electoral Rolls 1881, 1893 & 1896" (http://www.genealogy.org.nz/Sales_11.aspx?CategoryId=11) where there's an Alfred and Emma at the same location. There are 11 Henry's with no other given names, and about 30 John's. A bit more information is needed to identify any of these as your men. It might help to find when your people came to New Zealand. My new favourite site for this is Family Search (http://www.familysearch.org/) Click on the link "Australia and New Zealand", then "New Zealand, Immigration Passenger Lists, 1855-1973". Note that the date range is for births, not the events themselves, and not all passengers had ages recorded so sometimes it pays to leave those fields blank. This site is not yet complete. Otherwise, I've got my "other" favourite web sites for passenger lists noted at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wendyh65/NZ-Links.htm If you don't find any Onehunga connections for these people, you might be better off moving to the New Zealand list (http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/NZL/NEW-ZEALAND.html) to continue your hunt. There are some great people there who have great knowledge and willingness to help - just look at this thread that I started at the weekend, and the results that have come from it! http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/NEW-ZEALAND/2011-01/1295037155 Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy Howard **I have no personal interest in the name(s) mentioned here** *** Please reply to the list ***

Hello List, I have a missing BARNES family...born Middlesex, London. Father was Dr John Alexander BARNES. Three sons Henry (b. 1859); Alfred (b.1860); John (1862).

I am hoping to find some record of this married couple , perhaps from Electoral Rolls and/or Telephone Directories... Henry Barnes Ada Barnes This elderly couple may have lived on Flemming Street , Onehunga , maybe in the 1960's ... They were born somewhere in England. They seemingly lived at Ohakune prior to shifting north. It's likely that Henry Barnes worked for New Zealand Railways and was stationed at Ohakune. Any help will be appreciated, Ray

Looking for Andrew and Eleanor McMullen - on last electoral roll in 1985 and last phone book entry 1988. Can any-one help with information please? Cannot find any death records. Jean.

I am searching for a family member, William Gadsby, born 1856 near Ballarat in Victoria. He was the second child of another William Gadsby. His mother was Sophia, nee Giddeons/Giddens/Giddings. I can't trace him at all in Australia. His older sister Emma Boothman, also known as Johnson, lived for some years in the North Island at Gisborne, and died there. I know about another William Gadsby who lived at Hawera in the Taranaki region, and he is not related. I am wondering if there was another William Gadsby living in the South Island, who may even have changed his first name to something else. Can anyone help at all? Thanks Lyn

Can anyone help me with my research on William Gadsby, the son of another William Gadsby. William Junior was born in 1856 near Ballarat, on the Victorian goldfields. We feel he may have gone to New Zealand as we cannot trace him in Australia. He may even have changed his first name, as his father William was a convict. I would appreciate any help. We know of a William Gadsby from the Taranaki/Hawera area. He is not the William Gadsby we seek. Thanks, Lyn

Hope this helps Regards Cheryl

Hi Lyn, > I am trying to check if information received is correct - that John Boothman went to NZ from Victoria, Australia in the mid 1890's to live. I believe 3 of his children went and married in NZ - Elizabeth Ann Boothman married John Pearson Horton in 1904 and they had a son William Horton, born 1908. Sophia Boothman married a Peter Henry McIntosh in 1906, and David Boothman married an Ethel Glass in 1917. Firstly, a heads'-up - it isn't a good idea to post the same request to multiple boards all at once. Pick one, ask your questions and wait a while for replies to come in; give people a chance to see your post and reply if they wish. If you're not satisfied, pick another some time later and ask again. It can be very frustrating to read one list, reply where you can help, and then go to another list where the exact same questions have been asked. Are all the same people reading both lists, so will everyone at the second list have seen the first? Mailing lists aren't all about one person, one question; they're about sharing information in a place where many can learn from the exchange. Mailing lists also have specific topics. Please check that the list you're about to post to is relevant to your query, and if it isn't, find one that is. If the connection to the list's topic isn't obvious in your post, it's a good idea to explain why you chose that list and what the connection is. There's a learning curve to negotiate when you start a new venture, so don't be put off by this. Look around and learn what you can from the information provided on-screen, and ask the list administrator directly if you have any questions about what you can and can't post - you can contact any Rootsweb list administrator (owner) by writing to listname-admin@rootsweb.com (where "listname" is the EXACT name of the particular mailing list, eg kiwigen-admin@rootsweb.com for the KiwiGen list, or new-zealand-admin@rootsweb.com for the New Zealand list). Off my little "hobby-horse", and on to what we're here for... :-) Have you discovered BDM Online - Historical Records (https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/Home/)? It may be of help to you if you haven't. You can purchase copies of registrations on that site. Be sure to get the printout, not the legal certificate, for family history purposes. (I explain why at http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/NEW-ZEALAND/2010-04/1272342580) Do take the time to check out the information offered on the BDM site. If you're keen to purchase a printout, find out what data should have been recorded at the time - this changed over the years, and some earlier events aren't as helpful as you might expect if you've seen later ones. Do you know for sure that your family travelled from Victoria to NZ? If not, then you may like to take a look at Public Record Office Victoria (http://www.prov.vic.gov.au/), and PapersPast (http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/). Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy Howard *** Please reply to the list *** -- Kaiwaka, Northland, New Zealand http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wendyh65/ <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/%7Ewendyh65/>

I am trying to verify information received about John Boothman and his family, who moved to NZ from Victoria, Australia, in the mid-1890's. I believe Elizabeth Ann Boothman married John Pearson Horton in 1904, and they had a son William John Horton in 1908. Sophia Boothman married Peter Henry McIntosh in 1906. David Boothman married Ethel May Glass in 1917. I believe John Boothman may have died in NZ around 1912. Any information would be much appreciated. Lyn
