New Zealand Birth, Death and Marriage indexes can now be searched online. There are limitations for privacy reasons according to the site:
- Births that occurred at least 100 years ago
- Stillbirths that occurred at least 50 years ago
- Marriages and eventually Civil Unions that occurred at least 80 years ago
- Deaths that occurred at least 50 years ago or the deceased’s date of birth was at least 80 years ago.
Looks like a useful service even with those limitations and can save a trip to the library to search through the indexes on microfiche.
