Historical Information Request from Ministry of Justice
Mary Brown made this Official Information request to Ministry of Justice
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Mary Brown to read recent responses and update the status.
From: Mary Brown
Dear Ministry of Justice,
I am writing to request historical information from the Ministry of Justice in New Zealand regarding the following:
1. Why is the New Munster link on the NZ Gazette website inactive, and where can pre-1841 Gazette entries be found?
2. Why do Gazette items only start from 1841, and where can official notices for pre-1840 events be located?
3. Why is the year 1843 excluded from the acts enacted in New Zealand, and what is the significance of missing years on the legal website? Which governing bodies were active during these periods, and what are the functions of imperial acts still in force today?
4. Why was a German Imperial Consul responsible for certain authorizations in New Zealand, and where can original land deeds for the Chatham Islands, especially those related to the Engst families, be found?
5. Where are the official documents for the 1900 German treaty located, and why are they exclusive to the Wellington branch? How will access be improved for those outside Wellington?
6. Where did Charles Brown emigrate from in 1849 and 1854, and where are their naturalization documents with reference numbers? Where can related Gazette notices be located?
I appreciate your assistance in providing these details for my historical and genealogical research. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Regards,
Mary Brown
