Forest of Dean FHT Forum - Good news for anyone searching for famly in New Zealand https://forum.forest-of-dean.net/ Connecting Forest of Dean Researchers World-Wide en Good news for anyone searching for famly in New Zealand (reply) I've managed to find a close relative on this new database, simply because it was a very unusual surname. Otherwise it's a very poor system the Kiwi's have set up. I went looking for the death of a Thomas Young, and unless you know when a person died, I'd have to buy about half a dozen certificates, and then I'd still not be sure I had the right one. Unlike the New South Wales Historical BMD Indexes which gives the names of parents (in most cases), the NZ BMD Index doesn't even give you the town or place. Pretty hopeless really, and very disappointing.

Not very good if it's the date, month and year one's looking for!!!!

What was taking months (by virtue of snailmail - not to mention filling out endless forms) is now taking minutes.

There were quite a few complaints on a number of Australian lists about this problem. I've just done a 'test run' and it came up straight away and even a test for a "William Smith" only took about a minute.
Perhaps is was being overloaded due to it's popularity.

Regards,
Graeme
