Goal

My name is Robynne Lozier and I am the Captain of the New Zealand team. As you can see, we call ourselves the Kiwi Crew. While I currently live in Canada, I was born and raised in NZ until I emigrated in November 2000.

Calling all NEW ZEALANDERS and anyone with NZ ancestry who want to be part of a Challenge team for Wikitree challenges. Even if your partner or spouse is a kiwi and you are not, then feel free to sign up if you wish. Especially if you are doing their NZ genealogy.

Instead of being just the New Zealand Team, we are THE KIWI CREW. Thanks to Fiona Gilliver for our new Team Name. Thanks to Graeme Olney for the Silver Fern Background and Many Thanks to Campbell Braddock for our wonderful Kiwi Crew Logo!!

Whenever there are Challenges, Sprints and Thons, for activities such as Data Doctoring (fixing up Errors), Sourcing, Connecting, finding Notables, Writing Biographies, Photographing Cemeteries, etc etc, we will CONCENTRATE on NZ profiles as much as we can.

2021 Source-a-thon

The 2021 Source-a-thon will be held over the first weekend of October 2021 (2-5 Oct 2021 - NZT) and Registration has now begun.

The idea is to find and add sources to as many unsourced profiles as possible.

If you wish to be on the Kiwi Crew team for New Zealand, you MUST sign up at the Registration Page - link below - and say which team you will be on. Hopefully the Kiwi Crew team. This is a team competition only.

https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1291959/have-you-registered-for-the-2021-source-a-thon-yet

The Chat Page for the Source-a-thon is linked below

https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1292396/kiwi-crew-2021-source-a-thon-chat-page

Hope to see you joining in the fun.

Details for How and where to Source for NZ profiles can be found further down this page. You are NOT required to source only NZ profiles, although that would be helpful. You are free to add sources to any unsourced profile from any country!!!

Thank you and Good Luck

Robynne Lozier Captain of the Kiwi crew.

Where to find Unsourced Profiles?

You can also use the table below or the New Zealand Unsourced category to find profiles that need sources, but the tables reached through the links below have a lot more information than the Category pages show.

Whether you source a profile you found through the table or a category page, when you save the profile, there will be a button for "Challenge Tracker" at the top of the page. Click that, complete the form (add your WikiTree ID if needed, check the appropriate challenge, and describe your action), then click the "Add" button & the profile will automatically be counted toward your total in the challenge you selected.

Resources

The [Source-a-Thon] is the biggest challenge. There are hundreds of profiles on Wikitree that are unsourced., and since Wikitree prides itself as a fully sourced Global Family Tree, we have to to do our part to help.

I know most of our Kiwi ancestry leads back to the UK and to Europe, but we need more Kiwi Notables and Kiwi profiles on Wikitree.

This is the current official list of UNSOURCED Profiles from NZ Please note that there are several pages, each with 200 profiles!! it may look like a long list, but the more sources we can find on the DIA database, the better that profile will be.

Due to the GDPR EU Privacy changes that occurred in May 2018, I see that there are some unlisted profiles. These are profiles with links to Wikitree ID's AND also with black buttons. You MUST IGNORE these as no one will be able to access them. The profile managers will have to deal with those.

[[Source-a-Thon_Tutorial[Source-a-Thon|Tutorial]]]
If you are somewhat new to Wikitree and to source-a-thons, you might want to read through the above tutorial and perhaps do some practice runs before the source-a-thon actually starts. Just so you know how everything works.

If you want to do some practice runs, you can do some of the Saturday Sourcing Sprints during August and Sept.
[[Help:Saturday_Sourcing_Sprints[This|is the page]]] to check out for details. Also, add the following TAG to your Tags list sourcing_sprints

DIA Database

Using the NZ Dept of Internal Affairs [BDM database].

I hope you all know how to use the DIA database for BDMs in NZ? It does have its restrictions, but any NZ person born more than 100 years ago, can be accessed.

And all records after 1840 are recorded, if the person was born, died or married in NZ. Well, MOST records are recorded anyway. There may be some restrictions between 1840 and 1848, but I'm not sure of the details.

I always use the Historical Records section. That way you get free access to basic details. Click on Search and then use the Births, Deaths and Marriages sections, depending on whatever record you are looking for.

As for the dates - I always just keep them to 01/01/1840 - or use whatever year you are looking for. It is a nuisance, but that's how they want dates done. I actually find that 01/01/1840 and 01/01/1900 are good divisional points for before the 1900s and after 1900.

Also, remember that NZ does the British dating system - Day - Month - Year - not the American system.

Dates of Birth were added to Death records around 1970 or 1971, so pretty much all deaths after 1971, now include the persons date of birth which is quite handy. For earlier records that just have an age at death - you can use that to work out a rough year of birth.

Deaths are recorded once the person turns 80 years old. If they died aged 80 and over, their death record is immediately available. if they died before their 80th birthday, then the system waits until their 80th birthday has passed, and then adds their death details.

You do not have to fill in all the spaces to get your information. Sometimes just a surname is enough. If you are looking for all the children of a particular family, As long as you know the names of both parents, you can put in the surname, the mothers name, the dates and then hit search. You often get the whole family that way if you do the dates right.

Be careful with spelling. Some surnames or christian names are still spelt wrong on the database which makes it hard to find. I recently came across a birth record where the mother's name was Emily, but one of the children had his mothers name listed as Emma. I only found it under a surname search. I have also found Helena spelt as Helina and as Ellen.

Please remember to search for married women's DEATH records under their MARRIED names, not under their birth names.

Adding Sources to Profiles

Please see the following profiles for examples on how to add the DIA records as a source to the profiles. You would need to add the same information, but you can display it in a different order if you wish. This is my grandfather's profile as an example - Thompson-31033

This is another profile with an excellent example of adding DIA cited sources -
Rooney-433

Because the DIA website keeps Births, Deaths and Marriages all completely separate, the reference numbers MUST be identified on the profile as to what kind of record they are. Birth, Death or Marriage.

Finally, once you have added a source to the profile, you must manually REMOVE the UNSOURCED Template from that profile, before you save it.

One other thing to remember. Unsourced profiles only need ONE new source to be added during the source-a-thon, the challenges or the sprints. If you add more, that is great, but that profile will still only be counted ONCE. So it would be better to add one source, remove the unsourced template and save the profile, before moving on to a new profile. If you make a note of the sources and profiles, you can always go back at a later time and add more sources.

Other Sources

Another place that is useful for NZ records includes the Archives Archway - which is the access point to the National Archives Dept of NZ - https://archway.archives.govt.nz/ - This can be used to find Divorce records, wills, probate details and military records

For World War 1 military records you can use this site - https://www.govt.nz/browse/history-culture-and-heritage/nz-history/get-a-copy-of-a-ww1-service-record/

For those who died in The Great War (World War 1), you can use the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website - http://www.cwgc.org/

While Census records have been taken in NZ for well over 100 years, the early census records were used only for statistical purposes and then destroyed. I believe that all census records from 1966 are now being preserved, but since 100 years have not passed since 1966, there is currently no access to any census records in New Zealand.

Another excellent source that can be used for Obituaries is the [Papers Past] website run by the National Library of NZ. But this site needs a lot of time to go searching through all the articles to find the name you want. Not good for Sprints.

You can, of course, continue to use Family Search for NZ records - but most of their NZ BMD records come from the same DIA Database that I have linked to above so it's a moot point.

If someone was born in the UK, and married or died in NZ, then, of course, you have to access the British records. UK records can be accessed through Family Search, FreeBMD, FreeCen, and FreeReg. https://familysearch.org/
https://www.freebmd.org.uk/
https://www.freecen.org.uk/
https://www.freereg.org.uk/

I would prefer that you NOT use sources from Ancestry, Find My Past or Scotlands People because those are PAID sites and not everyone has a subscription or paid access to their information. While this does restrict access to Scottish BMD information, the Scottish census records from 1841 to 1891 are available on FreeCen.

Many of the larger towns and cities are now putting their cemeteries databases online. Again, if you are not in a Sprint, these are excellent places to look for names and find details.
Dunedin, NZ [Cemetery Database]
Wellington NZ [Cemeteries Database]
Auckland NZ [Cemeteries Database]
Wargraves and Memorials in NZ [World War 1 and 2]
Timaru NZ [Cemeteries Database]
Christchurch NZ [Cemeteries Database]
For more Cemeteries in New Zealand, you can try the NEW ZEALAND Cemeteries project which has lots of Photo uploads from NZ cemeteries. [[Space:New_Zealand_Cemeteries_Team_Progress[NZ|Cemeteries Database]]]

[NZ Presbyterian Church Archives] - for those who have Scottish ancestry and who belonged to the Presbyterian Church - they have some very good Marriage records that are accessible online.

[BDM Phospo Site] Raewyn Vincent says the following - I use it frequently when looking at people and instead of having to punch in the dates, you can get the basic data and put it in the regular nzbdm website. Sometimes it's useful when looking for other relatives born to the same parents. I've been using this in conjunction with the regular DIA BDM site for some time. I use the main site for pinpointing complete dates on public information and this site more for locating familial circles, which can sometimes be added to and followed up with the cemetery records, Paperspast and war records if applicable.

The MacDonald Dictionary team at the University of Canterbury and Canterbury museum want help transcribing 12,000 records, specifically looking at recording women's names. Apparently it's indexed now by the husband's names, and they want to include the women too. (posted June 2019)

2020 Scan-A-Thon Team Members

Registration for the January 2020 Scan-a-thon has now opened. If you have any documents of photos for any of your Kiwi profiles - or profiles from any country really - you can join in the Scan-a-thon.

Also if you are on the Cemetery team, and have lots of photos of New Zealand Cemetery headstones, then they can also be scanned in - and you can make quick and easy profiles for them if they are needed. You can always go back and work on the profiles after the scan-a-thon is over.

Last year (January 2019) was the first Scan-a-thon and the Kiwi Crew came first in the teams competion. Much of this success was thanks to our 2 wonderful cemeterists Darren Kellett and Arthur Buckland-Pinnock, who uploaded tons of cemetery photos.

During the 2020 Scan-a-thon, we will use this page - https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/952765/2020-scan-a-thon-chat-for-the-kiwi-crew - for all team communications.

How to Join

You need to register in advance.

Simply post an answer on this Post NOW OPEN saying "Yes, I'd like to participate with the KiwiCrew"

Add THE_KIWI_CREW to your followed tags. for future updates.

Add this category to your own profile - Category: The Kiwi Crew Members - for a place where we keep all things Kiwi Crew together

Once registered, you will receive your Connect-a-Thon badge and a special invitation to our Kiwi Crew Discord Server.

The Connect-a-Thon Tutorial page offers considerable help

Where to work from

There are a few different ways to choose profiles to add to:

• Work from your Watchlist
  • One of the easiest ways to participate is to work on building out your own family lines. Sometimes we focus so much on our direct lines that we forget about the collateral ones. You can work on building outward, not just upward or downward.
• Work on your Unconnected Profiles
  • If you click here you will see a list of the people on your Watchlist who are not yet connected to the main tree. You can sort that list several ways, and also limit it to a particular surname. If you click on the highlighted word "total" in the first paragraph on that page, you will see a list of all unconnected profiles on WikiTree, which works the same way.
• The Connectors Chat Page
  • The Connectors Chat page has tables listing the largest unconnected branches on WikiTree, unconnected branches which are particularly challenging to connect for various reasons, and unconnected notables.
• The DBE Unconnected page
  • The DBE Unconnected page lists reports for different countries in the world, showing unconnected branches with at least one profile which says that the person in the profile was born or died in that country.
• Needs Profiles Created Category
  • This category exists as a way of noting profiles that have sources for family members who do not yet have profiles on WikiTree. For example, a member might have only created a profile for a daughter mentioned in a census. However, the rest of the family still needs to be added to WikiTree.

Connect-a-Thon History

The Kiwi Crew’s Epic Weekend at the Connect-A-Thon on WikiTree!

What an incredible weekend it turned out to be for the Kiwi Crew! We rolled our sleeves up, fired up our keyboards, and dove headfirst into creating and connecting profiles during the Connect-A-Thon on WikiTree. And guess what? Our hard work paid off!

🏆 Division 2 Standout: 4th Place, We flexed our genealogical muscles and snagged an impressive 4th place in Division 2.

🌎 Overall Ranking: 11th But wait, there’s more! Not content with just dominating our division, we left our mark on the global stage. We secured the 11th spot overall.

👏 Cheers to Our Top Competitors Let’s raise our virtual cups of kawakawa tea to the fantastic three who led the charge and everyone who participated because every profile counts:
