This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Karyn Millard to read recent responses and update the status.
From: Karyn Millard
Dear Radio New Zealand Limited,
This is a long shot, but I need to try.
My name is Karyn Millard from Brisbane, & my Mother & her two Sisters used to sing on the radio, under the name of The Hoffman Sisters…one remaining Aunty is in her early 90s, so it was many years ago.
Our Family have never heard them singing, & it would mean the world to us, if we could…would there be any chance you may have something in your archives?
It would’ve been an Invercargill radio station .
Looking forward to your response.
Yours faithfully,
Karyn Millard

Kia ora Karyn,
I’ve had a look through our database, but I haven’t been able to find
anything referencing The Hoffman Sisters.
If you know the names of any events where they performed, or songs that
they sung, it may be worth having a look with this information.
You can search our full catalogue on our website at [1]Search the
collection (ngataonga.org.nz)
Or if you email us directly at [2][email address] we can take a
look for you.
It is possible that the audio wasn't deposited with us, or that the audio
wasn’t saved at the time of broadcast.
As a working archive, it is also possible that this item has not been
accessioned yet. While we are unable to locate this content at the moment,
I encourage you to check back with us as it may be discovered in the
future.
Ngā mihi,
Abby
