Help !
On the EOI it wants family members - on the pull down list it lists just about everything!!!!

I have cousins I havent seen for 20 yrs - should i add them, if so hat do i put for dob as i haven't a clue?

My wife hasn't seen her father for 20+yrs - assume he's still alive - but no idea of dob etc

what do we do / how far do we go?

Cheers!

Clueless here. Haven't even submitted our EOI yet. But if/when we do, will list any and all family members we can find in NZ. Which is zero. Now if it were Oz, that's another matter. Have a TON of family over there.

Zero clue what you put down as the dob. Tried www.yellowpages.co.nz to try to find them?

Hi,
I believe its your choice who you add as far as family members. However if you don't name someone who then wants to come out off the back of you questions may be asked. I just put, my dad, sister and brother.
Hope this makes sense.

I just put brothers and sisters, hubby comes from a large family so it took a while to get all birth dates together including his half brothers and sisters in Oz.
I def didn't bother with cousins and stuff

I dont think we bothered with cousins either.

As Im adopted I didnt even out down my birth parents. Just put down my mum and dad and brother.

You can put down whoever you like, we just put my parents and brothers and my husbands mum and one of her sisters and the rest of his family he doesn't see. No probs at all only took 5 days to get pm

In th eguide to filling in the form it tells you that brothers, sisters, parents and children are "family"
basically i think it only those who they feel may be relevent to your medical history - I think.
