New Zealand Emigration and Immigration: Difference between revisions

=== Indexes ===

Some indexes to passenger lists exist, but most have been compiled from secondary sources, such as newspaper listings of ships and their passengers. Some books have been published on the emigrants of specific ships, while other books deal with ethnic or religious emigration. Historical works also often contain lists of early immigrants. To find some of these sources, look in the Place Search of the Family History Library Catalog under:  

NEW ZEALAND - EMIGRATION AND IMMIGRATION  

NEW ZEALAND - [SOUTH OR NORTH ISLAND] - EMIGRATION AND IMMIGRATION  

NEW ZEALAND - [SOUTH OR NORTH ISLAND] - [CITY] - EMIGRATION AND IMMIGRATION  

While these books can help determine at least an approximate time period in which an ancestor may have arrived in New Zealand, they do not always give the name of the ship, and the exact date and place of disembarkation. Without these details, it is virtually impossible to search original or filmed passenger lists.  

There are several online indexes and shipping lists.&nbsp; Some of these are found by going to:<br>http://nzgenealogy.rootschat.net/shipping1.html
