It covers the period 1850 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Museum\u2019s Research Room there are cemetery records, family trees, birth, death and marriage notices, obituaries, biographies of fallen soldiers, lodge membership records, and hundreds of photos.<br>The Work Room is the place to find family stories on posters on the walls, published family history books, and a survey of Renwick houses and their builders, owners, and occupants.<br>The walls in the Watson Memorial Library are hung with large portraits of early settlers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many families such as the early BRYDON, FRASER, GIBSON, HAINES, MILLS, NEWMAN, TAPP and WATSON families have multiple entries in the Index.<br><br>Others have only one mention, but that one record may be the missing<br>piece in your family research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find out if there are records of your family, and to see the records, come to the Museum between 10am and 2pm any Monday (except public holidays)<br>or, <a href=\"mailto:info@renwickmuseum.nz\">email us<\/a> and we will check the Index for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research Aid for families with a Renwick connection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":316,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[12,13,14,16],"class_list":["post-313","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-family-history","tag-family-history","tag-finding-aid","tag-index","tag-research"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
