Hi all,
just making a response on behalf of all those that helped at Archives today. I had hoped that we would be able to get through them all but unfortunately time got away from us and some were not processed. I myself only got through less than half the files so will need to go back at a later date so will try and sort those that we did not manage to  get to then.

We all took a few files during the day and I will leave it up to those that processed the files to make contact direct. As most if not all those handled involved images then a request will be made for an e-mail address so don't be surprised if this request is forthcoming.

It was an interesting day and I must say that once again i was very impressed with the staff on duty at the time, those I dealt with were very helpfull.  Files took a while to come through which may have been due to the relatively large number of us there.

Hi all,

This record is not vital to me ;) but if there was a spare bit of time, it would be great, but no worries if you guys run out of time.

Hi all,

I'm really pleased to read today's posts, and while I realise that perhaps you may not have got to my request (it was among the last to be posted here on this thread), that's not a worry.  I'm just so pleased that you were all able to meet together and received good co-operation from the Archives staff.  I hope you took time to have tea/coffee and food together too, and were able to chat about yourselves. There's nothing much better than putting faces to RChat contacts. And one day I hope to get across the Tasman to thank you for helping me with the various questions and lookups I have already made, and will most likely be making at future times.


Cheers,  JM

I want to thank kiwigirl so very much for photographing a probate for me, it was very generous as I know you were all pushed on Monday and had such alot to do
If I can return the favour in Christchurch I would be happy to do so.
Kindest regards
