Masterton Records

The archives lost the listing for 10,000 probates for Napier so we have finished Napier for now until the listings can be redone.  This is Fiona, Ann and myself opening the first box for the Masterton Court.  It is a small court so it will take us about 5 weeks to complete this.  It is like going back in time.  In Napier we were up to the 1970's and now we are starting again in the late 1800's and the early 1900's.  The documents are all brown from age and more fragile to work with.
