Topic: Tying the Knot: Tracing Marriage Records in New Zealand

Where can you find marriage records in New Zealand and how can these help with your research? This session will focus on key sources such as Civil Registration, Church Records, Archives, including Intentions to Marry, and PapersPast along with other sources. We will also look at some of the wedding fashions of the 19th and 20th centuries.

We would love attendees to contribute to this meeting by  sharing stories or showing any photographs, heirlooms or other ephemera they may own related to their ancestors weddings in New Zealand (remember to only show photographs of people who or no longer living or with the explicit permission of anyone who is still alive).

If anyone has a marriage/wedding story or photographs they would like to share please email admin@sag.org.au. Please put 'April Aotearoa NZ Group meeting' in the subject line of the email so we can have advance notice of those with things to share.
