                    [0] => European birth registrations were compulsory from 1848. For Maori, it was compulsory to register births from 1913 and Maori birth records were kept in separate registers. The Births and Deaths Registration Amendment Act 1961 repealed the separate handling of Maori registrations. These volumes provided an index to birth registers for the Awakino area.
