The | The FamilySearch Library has several New Zealand land records. Most of them are not indexed and many are in "report" form, so are difficult to use. Because of the availability of better genealogical sources, such as church records and civil registration, land records are used in New Zealand research only when other records fail to identify an ancestor. | ||
