I am trying to trace my Aunty:
Cissey Lavinia MacAllister (McAllister), nee Gregory, born c 1915. She emigrated to NZ sometime in the 1960's. She was divorced, but took at least two of her sons with her - John (known as Johnny Mac) and Roger - births c1945 and c1940 respectively. I think they flew to Auckland. But that is all I know.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

white pages telephone directory
http://www.whitepages.co.nz/ you may recognise middle initials
Otherwise there are sites like oldfriends
http://www.oldfriends.co.nz/ you need to register but can then look at profile and make contacts
Cemetery sites

There is a lavinia Betty aged 82 died 1995, if you search at Purewa http://www.purewa.co.nz/search.asp
Other than that, post on the many NZ mailing lists and newsboards, suggest you put surname in title and someone may know the name
Goodluck
Althea :)
