PATSY's HELP PAGE
Welcome to my Help Page for those of you with New Zealand research
I am a member of the Canterbury Branch of the New Zealand Society of Genealogists and also a member of the National Body no. 11068. I am happy to help if I can and I have the following references available here at home that I can check for anyone who wishes:
Please Note: It is with regret that I must inform fellow genealogists that I can no longer supply copies of registrations, Wills etc without first receiving at least a part payment. In the past months I have had the misfortune to have helped others both here and overseas who have not had the decency to forward payment. I am sorry that this makes it difficult for others but I do not have any choice. I am happy to forward email addresses of those whom I have helped if you require a 'reference' as to my own honesty
If it makes it easier for any of you I can take payment in Visa and Mastercard..
