Subject: Official Information request - Historical Information Request
from Ministry of Justice
 
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
