Adoptions in the Original NZ Birth Indexes
These birth indexes were published on microfiche up to 1990 and copies are held in many major New Zealand and Australian Public Libraries. An adoption can be recognised because it is hand-written and there is a slash part way through the number. An adoption record is, in theory, off limits to all but the child and parents involved. Note not all hand-written entries relate to an adoption. The parents of an ex-nuptial child may have married with the result that the child is entered with a new surname. It may be that the original entry was incorrect and a second entry was required.
Post - 1960 births have the mother's Christian name except those involving an adoption.
