I posted it on 19 October 2025 (around the same time as the Kapiti course). First PO couldn't send anything to US at all and told me of the 2 in Wellington on a different system that could. I may have been fortunate to go to two PO's with knowledgeable helpful people!-?

I recently sent an MtDNA kit to USA from NZ. The first PO I went to couldn't send to US but told me which ones in Wellington can so I went to one of those. The person there advised me to send Economy. It cost me $4.70 and took 11 days to get there. She advised not to send Express.

It's always exciting to find something drawn or written in an ancestor's own hand, isn't it #GenHour (belated!)

I have only just caught up with this because I was on a plane on the way to Melbourne during #GenHour today. Yes, I agree with @projectkin.bsky.social, the page Projectkin.org/stories250 is certainly worth checking out #Stories250

Haven't had time for more than a cursory glance yet. Annoyingly I have somewhere to be first thing this morning but I will be getting too them very soon. I will report back, Julie #GenHour

Thank you

Best of luck. I hope she agrees!

And my words merged creating a useless link (do wish I could edit). Of course you all know I meant weare.xyz

Goodness!

Thanks. That's good to know. Great that you found her!

... and now I do. Fascinating story. I have tried to sum it up here: xanthh.substack.com/p/infiltrati...

Thanks, Barbara ... It's an honour to help you 'kick off' the #Stories250 series. Thanks for asking me!

Thanks, Cathy. It's a tale that has intrigued me since I first heard it #GenHour

I can see a family likeness in all of them, but I agree you definitely look more like your great gran than the others
