Find my Father
| # | Post |
|---|---|
| 1 | I have done an Ancestry DNA test and have found out that my father was the Norwegian Lodger not the man my mother was married to. He was in NZ in the late 50's/60's and all I have is a name and that he was Norwegian. My mother has died now so unable to get any further information. 11duke - 2019-05-21 11:05:00 |
| 2 | You might be lucky enough to find him on a passenger list although there aren't many available online for the 1950-60s. Maybe he came to NZ via Australia? If you can get access to Ancestry.com (local library) and Family Search (free to register), search for his name in these record sets: Family Search https://www.familysearch.org/search/ Ancestry.com Edited by ed65 at 7:26 pm, Tue 21 May ed65 - 2019-05-21 19:26:00 |

Here's the website https://www.ancestry.com.au/dna/ There's a sale on right now but it ends in the next day or so. $89 Australian dollars. As far as I know, this is as cheap as it gets for an AncestryDNA test. ed65 - 2019-06-09 21:24:00 |

This has been very exciting for her and me as I introduced her to this side of the family she knew very little about and we have become friends on FB and chat regularly. village.green - 2019-06-10 16:58:00 |
