About the Strays & More CollectionA "Stray" is anyone who has left a record of a marriage, death, employment or any other event in a state, county or country other than where he or she was born. A person shown as born in Dunedin may have been married in Nelson. The record will be in Nelson, but you may have been searching in Dunedin. Strays can be found in most genealogical records –
