Otago Death Records taken from Early Newspaper Entries -
The Otago Deaths have taken a long time to transcribe as there are
even more death notices than there were births, as not only are the deaths for
Otago recorded, but also their relations overseas in England, Scotland, Ireland,
Australia and even Germany and other distant shores. The deaths are a great
resource for connecting people who were not born or married in New Zealand.
There are more than 11,000 entries
The Years covered are 1851 to 1900
