With MP Peter Dunne in Wellington

MelRae took this picture of Ross Cuff, Honorable Peter Dunne, Elder Condie and Jackie McCollough in Peter Dunne's office in Wellington New Zealand. Peter is a Member of Parliament and he invited us to visit with him to discuss the Birth, Death, and Marriage (BDM) legislation that is under consideration. If passed, it would seal all BDM records until 50 to 100 years after a person's death. This would obviously restrict geneaological research in a major way. For this reason, we are spending considerable time meeting with various Members of Parliament.
