*Archive?* finding info in New Zealand

Hi

Does anyone know how to or can someone look up relatives in New Zealand. I have a Great Aunt and her family out there, but I would imagine my Great Aunt has died some years ago as she would be 108 now.

My mum thinks she has an address for one of my Great Aunt's sons so might be able to suggest an area they were in but could not be 100% sure. My Great Aunt was last home in Fife in the mid 1980s when I was 5/6 and we haven't really heard from the family out there since.

My Great Aunt was Sarah White, born 1920 in Cowdenbeath, Fife, Scotland - married Eric Wright (?) and then emigrated to New Zealand (we think her sons are Donald, Eric and Brian)


If anyone could help I would be most grateful.

Thanks in advance

Jillian

Hi Jillian

I live in NZ, tho I've never needed to research here, all my lot were from the Black country
if there's anything you want me to lookup I don't mind, would need to find out where to go..

Here's a couple of sites, heaps more on google..

Hi Jillian
Are you still working on this or can it be archived?
