Mission Statement

Our particular expertise involves using the latest World database technology plus local, regional and national records, microfiches, certificates, wills, directories, registers, patience and legwork.  LKR's mission is to find people when normal contact is lost - no matter where they are. We won’t keep you waiting we will keep you informed.

Specialise

We specialise in New Zealand because this is where we believe we can be the most effective, where access to living records and historical archives is achievable at relatively low cost combined with over 20 years practical experience in this type of research. Every research request is different. Every individual and family's circumstances are different. The truth or otherwise behind family legends is established. We sort fact from fiction. Our research often leads us overseas to successfully complete research requests.

Our Clients

Lost Kin Research (LKR) works for clients in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the USA.
