Welcome! With 14,202,049 people in family trees, many with attached documents and pictures, ANZGDB is already the largest collection of New Zealand family trees available on the web, and a major repository of Australian trees. Whether you are passionately interested in genealogy, or have only an occasional interest in family history, this is a great place to start looking for information about your ancestors. We hope that you will find what you are looking for here.

But it's more! By combining the web's advantages with the functions of a personal genealogy program (think Legacy, Family Tree Maker, etc: but with a shared database), ANZGDB is rapidly gaining popularity as the best place to create, publish, and share our family stories. A place where our precious memories can be recorded before they are lost for ever.

Our dream is that this becomes the place where we research and record our family history, that eventually the system will contain a record of every ancestor of every New Zealander and every Australian, and that these records will contain the best information available about their subject. We’re well on our way. We already offer rich facilities to create and publish your information, link it to other records, and communicate with other people with a common interest.

Share the dream and submit your family tree! It's free. In fact it's better than free, because we pay you with a subscription credit. And you don't lose control! Your tree remains yours - you control access to it, it can't be downloaded, only you can see your living people, only you can update it (unless you grant permission to another user).

You will have to register, but registration is free, searching is free, storing your records is free, and retrieving your own records is, and ALWAYS will be, free, and resource files are free. However, a small subscription is needed to see the detail of somebody else's records.

Of course, this site is a work-in-progress. Every month you'll see it getting better - more data, more features, problems fixed, looking better. If you have a suggestion, please let us know (Contact Us). If you strike an error (sorry), please let us know, and bear with us while we try to fix it
