Hi There,
I would like to say I am a member of NZSG and yes I think it is worthwhile to join.
I have had quite a bit of help from them and other NZSG branches throughout New Zealand.
Would be interesting to see what others think as well

Hi Leandra,
I am also a member. Was a branch member first, but decided to become a member of the Society as it has it advantages.
Have had heaps of help from them and other branches.
Cheers

Riley
Can you clarify your comment "cheaper UK BDM Certifdicates" please?
I don't understand how any society can offer them cheaper than the GRO's 7 GBP (postage paid)?

Hi everyone,
Thanks to you all for your thoughts on NZSG, as I am still learning the ropes of family history I value all your opinions
Cheers

HI
I would never not me a member of NZSG
as much to show support and be involved witht he ongoing resource creation
Many Rc's forget that a lot of the info they get is from NZSG sources..so it is constantly giving people leads..although by copyright we sometimes give too much away..so by being a member at least a genealogist is gving a little back...and who knows you may become hooked into helping with the many projects such as shipping indexes and electoral rolls (eg 1911 transcription underway)
So many invaluable collections such as first families and the certificate collection that will save you money (sub) in the long run
Plus any book that is in the library etc (if you can't visit Panmure) the research service for free can look up for you and follow up on any references given in the index CD's/burial locator etc. and the magazine...so you lly get great value for your $$
Phew!!! as you can see a devoted member

For those the knew Karen Kalopulu ans saw her many articles in the NZSG magazines. Karen died on Sunday just gone. Her funeral service is being held today, followed by burial at Waikumete Cemetery.
Karen was a great helper at the Auckland City Library and helped me a lot when I was there with my research.
Karen you will be greatly missed
