Hi there!
Sorry I haven't got back to you sooner! Yep my e-mail is jaxs_38@yahoo.co.nz
As for the Christie's and the NiaNia whanau being related you are not wrong b/c my mother and her first cousin both married a NiaNia and at one of the Christie's reunion, I couldn't believe it when so many NiaNia's stood up to introduce themselves. Hope to hear from you soon peata
luv Jacqui
