The Clan Gunn Society of New Zealand
The CGSNZ now has a web site at: http://www.clangunn.org.nz,
The following information will assist anyone wanting to communicate
with local clan members, or who is planning to visit New Zealand.
The NZ Society was formed in 1987 and initially was strongest
in Auckland, our largest city, but gradually, with changes in
the structure of our Council, this moved south to Christchurch
in the South Island.
The NZ Society was formed in 1987 and initially was strongest
in Auckland, our largest city, but gradually, with changes in the
structure of our Council and increasing membership in the South
Island, this moved south to Christchurch. Our current President,
Todd Wall, hails from Dunedin ("Edinburgh of the South"), where he
has been instrumental in increasing the membership in Otago in
recent years, which is now nudging Canterbury in both size and the
frequency of activities throughout the year.
If any clan members are planning a visit to New Zealand, please
contact the Secretary beforehand, who will be pleased to provide
contact details of members in the provinces you intend to visit.
We are also happy to assist any members carrying out family research
involving New Zealand connections, one of our Dunedin members being a
licensed genealogist with access to historical records including Births,
Deaths & Marriages, containing a wealth of detailed information.
Contact person for Clan Gunn NZ is:

health, wealth and happiness, and hope that many of our paths will cross
in the future.
