| === Finding the Emigrant's Place of Origin ===
| |
|
| |
|
| Once you have traced your family back to your immigrant ancestor, you will want to determine the place where the ancestor was from. If passenger lists are not available or do not provide that information, there are several other sources that may be able to help. Contact older family members, and check for the following:
| |
|
| |
| *Birth, marriage, and death certificates.
| |
| *Obituaries.
| |
| *Journals.
| |
| *Photographs.
| |
| *Letters.
| |
| *Family Bible.
| |
| *Church certificates/records.
| |
| *Naturalization applications and petitions.
| |
| *Passports.
| |
| *Family heirlooms.
| |
|
| |
| In addition to emigration records for New Zealand, there are other sources for determining your immigrant ancestor's place of origin. See [[New Zealand Records Selection Table]] for suggested records to search for "Birthplace."

| Additional information about finding the origins of immigrant ancestors is given in the [[Tracing Immigrant Origins|Tracing Immigrant Origins]] FamilySearch Wiki article.
