It's not uncommon to run across ancestors who moved back and forth between New Zealand and Australia. If you had an ancestor who made the move prior to World War I, and who was of an age to serve during the war, you should check the AIF Project website - AUSTRALIAN ANZACS IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-191. The link below lists those who were born in New Zealand.

FamilyRelatives.com plans to add New Zealand records soon. I guess I'll have to buy a subscription! Thank goodness my husband doesn't have a clue how much I spend on my genealogy "hobby"!
Two New Databases Online
I put a database with just over 1,700 cemeteries located in New Zealand online today. You can search by cemetery name, town, district or region. Click to View.
I also took several small lists from town directories, etc (most from the Wellington area) and put them into an online database (over 4,200 entries). Search by surname. >Click to View.

UK Church Database
If you trace an ancestor back to the UK and would like to find what churches were in the area they lived in, you can enter the town name in the UK Churches Database
This is pretty handy for those who want to track down parish records.
