Kōrero

Short pieces from the research: a document found, a case explained, a question answered. Written for families as much as for lawyers.

Kōrero on Facebook

Every new piece is shared on our Facebook page, where families at home and overseas can read it, comment and pass it on.

How we use what you send

Every message is read. A correction that the evidence supports goes into the next edition and onto the Corrections and additions page, and, where it matters, into a Kōrero piece saying what was changed and why.

A tradition is always credited to the family that told it, in the words you choose. Nothing you send is published unless you have said we may.

Comments on Kōrero

You can also comment under any Kōrero piece. Comments are read before they appear. So that everyone can take part:

  • Say where your information comes from: a family tradition, a document or a court record.
  • Disagree with the evidence, not with the person.
  • Do not accuse anyone, living or dead, of dishonesty. Say instead that a claim rests on no foundation, and show why.
  • Keep private family matters private.
