There are several dozen Carlins in New Zealand. The most famous is probably
Jocelyn Carlin, the noted photographer. A book of Jocelyn's photographs,
"Beach," has just been published. There's also Carlin Enterprises Ltd., a
real estate developer and agent, and Darrell Carlin of Carlin Valenti Ltd.,
a fully-integrated public relations and marketing firm.
As of now, our "Carlins in New Zealand" webpage is listed in the New Zealand
Information Network. The URL is
www.newzealandsearch.co.nz/Arts_and_Humanities/Genealogy/ .
I had been corresponding with the producer of that website, and when he
invited me to add our site to the network, the only relevant category was
Reference. So I suggested a new category... either Reference - Genealogy or
just plain Genealogy.
He changed that to Arts_and_Humanities/Genealogy/ , and the Carlin families
on NZ are now the first group of septs listed in this brand new (one day
old) Genealogy section!
This puts us in the forefront of genealogy on New Zealand... so much so that
there have been 937 hits to our NZ webpage through the NZ Information
Network within the past 24 hours!
(If you go to
www.newzealandsearch.co.nz/Arts_and_Humanities/Genealogy/ to
check out our webpage, you'll have a chance to vote for us. Since Al Gore
and George W. Bush both solicit votes on their own behalf, may I
respectfully put in a request for a positive (10 out of 10) vote? Thanks.)
And, here's a plug for them, if you're thinking about a trip to NZ, this is
a fabulous site for reference information about everything on NZ. You can
even send your friends free electronic postcards from NZ.
