Hi there is a new format for Family search,it is much easier to use
the New Zealand, Immigration Passenger Lists, 1871-1915 are more straight forward to use
https://beta.familysearch.org/
Cheers Janette

Hi Janette
yes great improvment and you can still narrow down to the collection you want,
mind you I still find the old site great for British IGI's. I suppose its what you are used to...
Anyone heard what the timeframe is to get more searchable nz shipping records online or when the expect project to be completed ???

see LINK - Shipping.

Finally I can get into this site ;D But is it complete? I notice some of my clan are not on there.
And what did happen to the online shipping records Janette said about. I posted at the start of the year wondering when it was available? And still no sign of it. I thought NZ Archives was putting the shipping records online mid year, anyone asked Archives?

Hi Suzy,
scroll down to Australia and NZ,then scroll down to
New Zealand, Immigration Passenger Lists, 1871-1915
Cheers Janette

No luck there. That is why I was wondering if this list is complete? Both husbands and mothers sides do not show.
Oh well not like I need to know, have all the records anyway.

Hi Suzy,
The lists are only about 17% complete.
Cheers Janette

I thought they were already completed according to the news article last year, and that they were going to be available early 2010.
I presume we are talking about the couple who volunteered their time over the last few years going over every inward and outward bound ship to New Zealand?

This the one where they are asking for transcribers?

My understanding is the couple in Wellington took the digital shots of all the passenger lists, so all the images are available but the next hard part was the indexing, so that the images were searchable.
The LDS project page is
http://indexing.familysearch.org/projects/viewProject.jsf?url=New_Zealand_Passenger_Lists_Part_2A/ProjectHelp1.html
where people can still volunteer, ;)

Found what I was looking for here. I had found a record in the Hocken Library but great to see the original shipping record and to have access to it online. Tahnks whoever is responsible.
I saw reference in earlier posts to the Brogden Recruits. I suppose they must have recruited women as well? I might look into that a little more.

Great site. Just wondering if there's a similar thing for earlier ships?

I think they're one and the same.
An old NZSG Newsletter says...
"The digitisation of all Shipping Lists held at Archives New Zealand has been carried out by (*) from Kihikihi, representatives from LDS Family Search."
