historical land search**completed**

[Thamesite2017]

Well I've finally taken the plunge and ordered a historical land search/title at Lands information NZ
Ironically not for me, but another researcher without the internet.

I gave the old lot number I had found in electoral rolls and possible new lot numbers.
So fingers crossed..very tempting and easy to do.

My question is that, the staff told me not to worry if they came up with nothing that I should contact the land search agents - as they are experts and would be able to track it. Has anyone used one of these search agents??? they sound expensive!!!

Same here....I am searching for the location of a farm my GreatGrand parents had for approx 25 years back in the 1880........1905.....what a saga....have eventually located to Archives.govt.nz and each region has its own office....they suugest that you go and visit them with a digital camera to retain images of the info and maps and locations,they are not very keen in you being vague...you have to have some names and locations if possible.  I will let you know how it goes.    I used dunedin@archves.govt.nz

Hi John B

May I also take up your generous offer of assistance with identifying Land Records.

My grandfather first settled on the:

Climie Road, near Cardiff on the Stratford Opunake Road from c1886 until c1910/1915; then

Lower Glen Road, off Surf Highway 45 out of Manaia at Kaupokanui from c1910/15 until 1935.

His brother Eugene Keppel was "At Ngaere off the Opunake Road, four miles out of Stratford around 1883, maybe Section 74 Block 5.

The surname may be spelt Kepple.

Many thanks, and not urgent.
