What time period are you looking at?
Would they still be alive, a little more and we can point you in right direction.
If older than 100yers, then some firstnames etc
Bye for now
Althea

Hi Maggie
Welcome to the New Zealand board. 
Obviously, at RootsChat we can't help you with a search for "living" relatives, but you could try viewing the passenger indexes at >>
http://findmypast.com
to determine when your family arrived in NZ.
Or, if they arrived after 1960, then a search of the "Whitepages" telephone directory may help in your quest ?

Hi folks
Thanks to Lu, Althea and Karenlee.
Unfortunately I actually do not know who I am looking for. My Dad died before I was actively researching my family history. I just always remember him saying that I had relatives in New Zealand. It may have been an Uncle of my Dad's James Meeke who was born in 1893 as the other brothers and sisters I can account for but know nothing of him. The name Meek/Meeke are i believe one in the same and have noted on some census records to be or the other but still related if you know what I mean.
I am hoping (needle in a haystack) that someone there will mayb know a wee bit more about their family history and it will match the people in mine.
Jo - I have found relatives in the States whose name is spelt Meek but are related, so it maybe that 'e' was just left off over there as well. Do your relatives come from Northern Ireland. I live very near the old homestead in an area known as Meekstown. Meeke/Meek are from the Ahoghill/Gracehill/Portglenone area. I have photos of old graves (meek) in Ahoghill old cemetry.
Thanks again for the information and I will check the different suggestions.
Maggie
