***New BMD Restrictions for NZ***COMPLETED

[DotBrennan]

We believe that the new “Historical Information” restrictions will also retrospectively apply to any BMD Index info that is/has been published on any website or intranet site.

This means that information posted for lookups must be as follows:
Birth: must be 100+ years ago
Marriage: 80+ years
Death: if the death occurred 50+ years ago OR the person was born 80+ years ago.

Any information that does not comply with these time restrictions will be deleted immediately.
We will also need to delete all information on completed posts that does not comply.

These are radical changes to what we have been used to doing in the past.
Your help in this matter to keep RootsChat “within the law” would be appreciated.
