Two NZ websites byway of ANESFHS

Hi there,

Received my new Journal from the ANESFHS and found these two websites noted:

www.oldnewsbios.co.nz

(birth,death, and marriage notices form newspapers with over 14000 names)

and

www.honeastindiaco.com

(Honourable East India Company-includes some birth, marriage and death notices)

The person writing them up said that when he tried the first one, clicking on the links didn't work, but copy/paste them into the address box did and he found a relative!

Carol

Edited: When I just tried the oldnewsbios address it didn't work until I googled it and went from the google site. Try this if the above doesn't work for you:
http://www.oldnewsbios.co.nz/

Thanks Carol,

That’s interesting. I couldn’t find any of my Distants who ended up in N.Z. but I’ve bookmarked the site for later.

Looks like they’ve just made a typo in the Journal because it’s definitely a .co rather than a .com

All the best,
Alan

Hi Alan,

No, it was me who made the typo!

I'm so used to .coming everthing...

Never mind Carol,

You can’t win ‘em all.
They only have .co’s so as to confuse people.
