German Immigrants to NZ COMPLETED

[digga64]

My name is Gary (*) , I now live in Canada but am trying to trace my roots, if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
My father is Graeme Peters, born in 1939 in New Zealand.
My Grandfather was Frederick William Peters, born 1913 in Inglewood, Taranaki New Zealand.
Thats as far back as I can go, I do know that my father and grandfather were very proud of thier German ancestory.
There were 7 boys and three girls to my fathers family. The whole family moved to Otorohunga to continue farming there  but Im not sure what year that was, Im thinking around 1949 to 1954.
Im sorry but I dont even have old photographs to post that may help.
Anything help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Gary

    ... and welcome.   

Do you think anyone in your family might (already) have a copy of the marriage certificate for your grandparents ?

Or maybe there is some information to be had from Frederick William's death certificate (which gives a lead to who his parents were) ?

If this information is not available to you, then the next step in the process of working backwards to discover your roots, is to obtain a copy of Frederick William's marriage record.

For this record, Frederick himself will have provided the details of his parents (and so it is more reliable than what might be found on his death certificate).

Any idea of the date of Frederick's marriage.

Hi again Gary

If you just go back to my post # 2 - I've added some questions for you. 

[Sorry, hope I haven't confused you  ... I just modified my earlier reply as the Moderator had made the necessary amendments.]

Hi Gary
I can look at the birth fiche today for your grandfather so we can step one back
As Lu mentioned certificates, if you are able to afford them, its a good idea to by the certs for your direct line to get confirmation and good facts to build on

Sorry always get mixed up on what years have parents on the birth fiche..
but anyway there was no rego for Frederick William 1913 or 1914

Were you definite on birth details...if so are you sure that he couldn't be the ERNEST WILLIAM as quoted above

I see that an Ernest William does die Cambridge area 1974 age 60
Is this the year and place of death??

Bye
Althea
