Old Newspapers online New Zealand .....

You know what it's likes when you go surfing around the net looking for research stuff......well I can't remember where I got this lead, but it's really great if you are looking for early New Zealand news.

While delving I found a death notice for an ancestor of mine in 1893.

I also found a death notice for a Alexander ANDERSON who originally came from Lanarkshire & went to New Zealand in 1848.

I thought someone here may be linked to him, so here's the site

The Anderson notice is in the Otago Witness for Sep 1893, page 35..

If you only take a look for the old ads, they're a hoot.
