I helped a woman this week who was granny hunting, searching the Evening Post for a marriage notice of her great grandparents. we didn't find it though so it was a bit unsatisfying. i was quite involved by the end of it and really wanted to find the notice so was disheartened with the dead end. (no pun intended.) however it was a bit frustrating when she said: well, maybe they got married in Christchurch! still when you are relying on the faded memories of elderly relatives for clues.... she just didn't want to pay the $30 for the marriage cert. i can’t believe you spent 6.5 hours looking at microfilm! i find that really hard on the eyes and so tiring.
