Find a Kiwi launches Genes Connected – now you can find your lost friends AND relations!
Is there a gaping hole in your family tree? Filling in the gaps has always presented a huge problem for many New
Zealanders; with so many of our ancestors arriving on boats from far-off locations – not to mention the hordes of Kiwis
who take off on their OE’s each year and decide to settle elsewhere in the world! As the thousands of dedicated NZ
genealogists will testify, tracing your family tree can be a time consuming and often frustrating business. Until now
that is!
Top reunion website Find a Kiwi ( http://www.findakiwi.co.nz) have recently launched their sister site Genes Connected in New Zealand. Part of the phenomenal Friends Reunited
family, Genes Connected has already close to half a million registered users, five million names and some staggering
success stories never before experienced on a genealogy website. Genes Connected is a genealogy site through which you
can build your family tree and link to other branches being built by others all around the globe. By creating your
family tree online, you can save time, fill in the missing pieces of your gene puzzle and connect with long lost
relatives – or even those you never knew you had!
Find a Kiwi Regional Manager Jackie Gower can testify herself just how valuable Genes Connected can be. “My father
passed away knowing precious little about his family tree; therefore I knew even less! So I was absolutely amazed when
after just a few days of registering the spindly branches of my family tree online, a woman contacted me from the UK to
tell me that my grandfather (who had died before I was born) was also in her family tree. After exchanging frequent
emails, this lady has literally filled in a huge part of our tree on my father’s side, ranging back around 300 years. It
even turned out that we were related to the old lady who used to live across the road from us!”
Whether you are a beginner or seasoned genealogy researcher, Genes Connected is for you. The site is simple and easy to
navigate, following in the footsteps of Find a Kiwi and Friends Reunited. The principle is also the same in that the
more people who register, the more chances they will have of success. The amazing array of success stories speak for
themselves. Put your family on the map today with Genes Connected and see just how easy it is!
