New Zealand Historic Records

You can access more than 20 million New Zealand historic family history records on Ancestry.com.au. These historical records cover a 140 year period from the mid-1800’s right through to the later part of the 20th century. Together, they form part of the larger Anne Bromell Collection, named after the woman who spent more than 20 years scouring the shelves of New Zealand’s archives, libraries and bookshops. During this time, Mrs Bromell converted some of the country’s most important genealogical works to microfilm.

As part of the New Zealand historic records, you can search Electoral Rolls, Maori Voter & Electoral Rolls, Jury Lists, Maori Land Claims and Naturalization Records, helping you discover more about your New Zealanders ancestry.

Plus access original documents from around the world and you can research the story of your ancestors before they set foot in New Zealand.

Get started today and you will be amazed at what you can discover.
