thanks to ZebulonJoe for his message of 12 Dec 2010:
. My father, Eric Jeffrey Bell (Norman Cicely Schwartfeger) gave a somewhat different history. Franz was born in Renzlaken(?) in 1838 or 1839, arrived in NZ c 1868, I suspect jumped ship, was naturalised shortly before marrying Martha Agnes Burnet(t) - her father survived the Wairau massacre, 17th June 1843 - Richard S., of ......... Street, Waihi has a copy of the marriage certificate. Dad walked out of the house either 1906 or 1907. He went to Duntroon Military College the year before its official opening, which was 1908. There were 2 other New Zealanders with him. He was invalided home twice from WW1 ...

marysch on 2012-05-21 05:41:44Does anyone know of a story of Grandad seeing Pelorus Jack in the ook strait area?
ngairedith on 2012-05-21 06:06:29PELORUS JACK was a Risso's dolphin that was famous for meeting and escorting ships through a stretch of water in Cook Strait, New Zealand, between 1888 and 1912.
He would guide the ships by swimming alongside a water craft for twenty minutes at a time. If the crew could not see Jack at first, they would often wait for him to appear.
Despite his name, he did not live in nearby Pelorus Sound; instead, he would often guide ships through dangerous passages of French Pass. However, some local residents familiar with his habits claim that he never went through French Pass itself

rachelliddy on 2013-01-15 04:39:33Hi Ngaire,
My grandfather was John Howard Rogers (son of Leila May Schwartfeger and adopted by Henrietta Charlotte). There is a book avaliable from the national library called Woolston : a pioneer family, that follows the family tree back and gives alot of details on when and how people lived and died.
One small piece of info i remember from the book is that grandads siter Ina Maize died tragically (i believe she accidently shot herself) about 16 years old. There is 6 (i think) Ina Maize in the family who died in accidents at young ages - before 16 years.
Cheers.
