Hello Margaret.

I live in the Waikato, and have on occasion visited the Auckland Branch of Archives NZ to look up, and photograph old records held, and not yet digitized.  Then forwarded to out of town/NZ RootsChat members. Both SPADES, and I, are registered "readers" and can book items to view by appointment.

If the one you actually want, is one held at Auckland, I could arrange a look up, but my volunteer commitments are such, that it would not be before August.

Good luck.

Alan.

Oh dear looks like I should give up being curious, when I can not even spot typo's and spelling mistakes.

Thanks

Alan.

PS ...  And then again the press had a typo.  Same search but with "Abel Plant" comes up with only two hits. One that is valid, in the Evening Post, March 22nd 1921, reporting under the Manawatu correspondent banner, that Abel PLANT, barman was before the local court.

Welcome to RootsChat Lauren

Thank you for offering assistance to other researchers.

RootsChat has a policy of no public discussion about the living, and sharing contact details etc.

It herefore provides a MY MESSAGES service for private messaging, with other posters. See link in top bar, or via a posters portrait icon, under their user name. Follow the prompts.

However access to this service is not available, until you make three, or more, posts. So please make two more posts. Just a couple of greetings, or even a smiley from above.

All the best.

Alan.

Hello Linda.

When I started this post I used extensively the Hugh WALLIS IGI way of researching the LDS held photos, taken from the original parish church registers, and their IGI transcriptions used for indexing etc.

I was able to search each christening, plus marriage banns and marrage records, of churches in the environs of Glasgow, where NZ records and newspapers suggested the emigrants had come from. In my case I had already paid at the Mormon Temple in Templeview Hamilton, to import rolls of film not already held there, that held records about my Gt Grand Parents, and their siblings etc. Today these images are also available from Scotlands People. The official site for historic records.

The Hugh WALLIS way made it relatively easy, to broaden my search to nearby churches and parishes, to further my research into the extended families that the NZ emigrants, of interest, left behind. [Transcribing leaves a lot to be desired, being able to view the ORIGINAL record is priceless, as it can hold a key.]

I am not sure that the Wallis option is now available, or if registration and frees are applicable before access can be gained to the records. 

TALKINGSCOT a genealogical forum specializing in research and the historic Records of Scotland, has some very experienced helpers, just like RootsChat.

Happy hunting.

Alan.

Good afternoon Noel.

Welcome to RootsChat.

Although you have picked up on a thread that was last active 14 years ago, the original poster Lindybnz last visited RootsChat three weeks ago. And probably has been sent an email with notification of your posting.

If you make a 3rd post, just a smile face from above will do, you will then be able gain access to the  "My Messages" private messaging service, where you will be able to send a private message to Lindybnz, and therein discuss the living, which we are not allowed to do, on the public forum.

See link in the banner, at the top of the page.

All the best.

Alan.
