PATSY MAC's GENEALOGY HOME PAGE

The Kiwi Connection.......

Hi, my name is Patsy McMillan and I live in Waikari, North Canterbury downunder in New Zealand. We have three grown children, ten grandchildren and four great grandchildren. I am an avid genealogist I like reading and drawing and spending time with the family.
I have been interested in Family History research for 20 years and love to help others who are just getting into this hobby. Perhaps we could assist you with your New Zealand research in Christchurch or Canterbury see my Workshop page and checkout my Help page also.
