Key features
The MLCMBI is an index to the volumes of Māori Land Court Minute Books produced by The Māori Land Court — Te Kooti Whenua Māori.
The Māori Land Court Minute Books contain judges’ notes on court sittings from 1865 to 1910. These sittings covered court proceedings to do with succession and ownership of land, as well as, in some cases Māori to Māori adoptions. They contain a good deal of whakapapa information and may be useful for whakapapa researchers to consult.
