Title: Website with old New Zealand newspaper images.
Post by: minniehaha on Tuesday 09 October 12 08:25 BST (UK)

With thousands of people from many parts of Scotland having emigrated to New Zealand particularly during the mid to late 19th century, old newspapers often contain valuable information about our ancestors.

Are you aware that there is a free and easy to use website? To be found at:

www.paperspast.natlib.govt.nz

Very good to hear Susan. I just thought my message might reach those who are starting out on their family research journey. Every little bit of information helps, especially when you are on the other side of the world.
