Came accross a bloke a few years ago, he was born on the boat heading to NZ, when they attived the new employer was waiting on the dock, hurried them into the horse drawn cart and off to the backblocks.
He grew up, went to WW2, returned, saved up enough to go for a trip to England and see where his parents came from.
Applied for a pasport, oops, no birth certificate. That took about 6 months to provehe was even alive, much less get a pasport.
Enjoy your break.
