Is there a web site where you can search Birth, Death & Marriage records for New Zealand?

Appreciate any info.

Thank you

Well I must say that the website that you have just posted for me was close to familytreemaker.com.

No wonder I wasn't looking in the right place!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately that site only relates to FTW v.2006 and even that doesn't provide for a download of a trial program.

PERHAPS...... there may be other persons out there that are actually using v.16 that may be able to provide the answers to my original questions.

I would really appreciate a more precise response (PLEASE).

Thank you
Len

I would appreciate a bit of feedback from anyone using the new ver.16 who has also used previous programs of FTW.

I have been using every version of FTW from ver.1 to ver.11.

There appeared to have made quite a number of changes with the next two versions, ie 2005 & 2006.
I have not used them because like a car, you never buy the first vehicle in a new series until it has been proven and the bugs have been ironed out.

Can anyone tell me if the ver.16 is an improvement on previous versions or is it just a facelift on the way it looks on screen.

In previous versions I have found that when typing notes,

1.     It has been lacking in that you are not able to type in true type fonts and see the end result on screen as you type.

2.     Spell check doesn't allow you to highlight a body of text and carry out a spell check on the highlighted text alone.

3.     The program doesn't allow you to carry out a search and then compile a separate and complete list of all persons listed within that search, for example, on searching for all persons who may have been born or buried in a certain location. The result of the search is that you can view each individual but not a compilation.

Have any of these items been rectified in the latest version?

Also, from the FTW web site it appears that the section for recording Burials has been removed from the front screen. Has the section to record date and place of burial been included in another section of the program??

Unfortunately version 16 has not hit the stores over here in Australia as yet so I'm unable to ask these questions of local users or for that matter procure a copy.

Cheers and thank you from Len in Australia

G'day Libby,

Thank you for the info and also taking the time to look for it.
It will certainly help.

At this stage, my friend (John Wherry) is going through his family file to see what else would help him tie it all together.

His is one of those difficult families to try and research. Thats why I've been assisting where I can.

I have found quite a few references to them in Cornwall but we know that they were in the Lancashire area as well.

I was hoping to find a bit of their history in the Lancashire area.

Cheers
Len
