| 51 | Some people may have wondered why I posted a new thread saying "Happy International Women's Day" It was to provide a link to a new document on Free Pages Past - "New Zealand Register of Midwives 1907" An appropriate document for international women's day as it's full of women. It's also a great document for genealogy research. Lots of married women were midwives. Anyway hope you don't mind me posting the link again.

| 60 | thanks for a fantastic list of links bluecodnz - 2012-03-24 10:52:00 |
| 61 | Use google images. I've noticed birth/death/marriage certificates, find my past records etc available, so it pays to check there first before paying out for any. Also you may just find a profile pic of an old ancestor snoops - 2012-03-28 18:59:00 |

| 78 | Hi. Just wondering if anyone can help. My husbands father died in 1965 and I am trying to find the newspaper article which related to it. Any suggestions. Paperspost doesnt go up to this year, that I can find. Thanks very much for any help. chacha02 - 2012-04-09 20:14:00 |

You might want to start a new thread for this question, depending on how much of a response you are after. It would depend a bit on where and how your husband's father died - ideally it would be best to check the newspaper local to where he lived or to where if died (if different). If the death was violent or significant for some other reason (eg death caused by building collapse) you might find that the story appeared in the larger papers around the country. The best place for you to start might be the Auckland Central Library - they have an excellent Research Centre which will have at least some of the larger newspapers on microfilm. You will need to know at least an approximate date of death to start with. kiwileprechaun - 2012-04-09 20:23:00 |
| 80 | Thank you very much. The year was 1965 and it was a violent death. He needs closure and at 55 he still hasnt got it. Thank you very much for your help. chacha02 - 2012-04-09 20:35:00 |

| 85 | It would be better if someone just copied & pasted the sites in a new thread as many on this have been doubled up and bumping makes it longer to scroll through and it would be easier, tidier to search through. skutother - 2012-04-21 12:27:00 |
| 86 | you could also copy and paste to word or like I do as I find new links I save them to my favourites under whichever country/county/subject it is for crab2 - 2012-04-21 13:40:00 |
| 87 | crab2 - I do have my favourites just like you have mentioned but there are people who are are just starting to do Genealogy and I know it can be so confusing at the beginning. skutother - 2012-04-22 14:08:00 |
