i just found out that i have pakeha blood in me via stanaway

so if you want to look further, contact the Marae in Dargaville. A family tree is being prepared for 2007 with respect to the 'Maori' side.

so if youre a stanaway, then you're related to me.

Dear 'MethodicTwigs', Haere Mai ... Welcome to FamilyTreeCircles.

My husband has both Pakeha and Maori bloodlines.

We can't easily contact the Marae in Dargaville as we're Aussies. Would like to find out Whakapapa for husband and our children. We have great respect for Maori ways and traditions (and what every programme on the TV about New Zealand that we can). Can't wait to visit one day.

If you click on STANAWAY above with your mouse, you will see another journal written here with a photograph of husband's great grandmother. Husband even looks a bit like her. Hera was a granddaughter of Capt John James STANAWAY and Henipapa Te Hokaanga also known as Minarapa.

Regards,
Alison from Queensland in Australia.

Dear Allycat,

My sister and I both are descendants of Capt JJ Stanaway and have a copies of Tides of Time but in NZ my sister lives in the Gold Coast and returning to NZ in August for a week she will then pick this up - if you're interested in looking email her at maorifarnthgal@hotmail.com - keep in mind you can only view personally, we don't believe in putting these on the net and there are few of us that have copies of the entire Whakapapa AND way too many pages to photocopy

Regards
Sarah from NZ

Hi, Shona directed me to this site. My mothers' maiden name is Stanaway. We too are descended from Capt Stanaway. We have a family book so will have to speak to my grandmother and find out all info I can for you. Hone Heke also shows in our family tree. From memory Capt Stanaway and of Hone Hekes' daughters started off our line. Will get back to you when have more facts.
Regards
Michelle

Dear Sarah and Michelle, Hello. Nice to hear from you both via this site. Would absolutely love more information on behalf of hubby and sons.

Thanks in advance,
Alison from downunder.

Dear Laura, Welcome. Make sure you click on the blue link above 'Myras Place - Tides of Time' and go through the STANAWAY file in great detail.

I haven't come across any of your names before...

Q.Could your Henare Joseph Stanaway be Henry Stanaway born 18 Apr 1850 Gisborne Auckland NZ? Son of Capt John James STANAWAY & Henipapa Minarapa (TE HOKAANGA)?

Q.What were the female names in your line?

Alison.

Hi allycat,
I have a site which names siblings, my mother, grandparents and their parents are listed, it doesnt go very far back than those generations on the stanaway side though. it also lists the female names which are the Read and Maxwell lines. this link lists my grandparents and their children (including my mother monica) -

http://www.myrasplace.net/inez/fam01057.htm

my great grandfather Joseph Patrick Stanaway was born 20th april 1872, in wairoa, nz. the site doesnt have a link for his father Henare Joseph Stanaway but it could be very likely he was born the date you stated.

Laura

i will tell you letter

Hi, I am trying to find where to purchase the Stanaway book with the family tree that goes through the Chapman family. My wife and kids are decendants through the Chapman, Kuku(Cook), Minarapa bloodlines. Part of Mangamuka marae.
Does anyone have a GEDCOM file that has these ancestries in them?

My husband's grandfather Charlie Maynard MARRINER who was sometimes known as Minarapa was the nephew of Ripene Minarapa through his great grandmother Kuwhara Minarapa Tika* who was sister of Ripene and daughter of Ngaere Minarapa Tika-Stanaway and Irahapeti (or Rihi) Tanapo Stanaway. Search my MARRINER journals here to see her photograph*.

Akinihi (Agnes) Cook
Haro Cook
Ngahuia Julia Cook

Hi kukucook, Thanks but I already have that information including birth dates except for Ngahuia (Julia) Kuku /Cook who married Meto Toki son of Toki Pangari and Waitote Turi Makara. Do you know when/where she was born?

And I notice you have Haro Cook written twice. Is this an error? Or did the first Haro Cook die young and they named their fourth child in his honour?

Let me know if you want me to write the birth details here and also who the Cook children married.

Alison.

Which one are you:o)

Anyone know where 'Maynard' comes from? I've seen it popping up in a few descendant's names, esp. husband's maternal grandfather.

From the looks of things they are are also descendants of JJ Stanaway. See "Tides of Time".

I had a look, now I'm wondering who was Tika MAYNARD who may have been born about the 1870s?

Info is still being posted Re: all above blogs. completion may take several months if not more.

Cheers.

Kia-Ora tatou!

i too am a descendant of Stanaway although I'm not too sure how and am keen to learn more. I believe my grandmothers; Harata Rogan, great grandmother was married to him as arranged by Hone Heke-his grand daughter.
My nan was raised in Parirau Marae in Oruawharo.

I remember my nan telling me before leaving home for Maori boarding school the importance of Paakeha education, (we hold strong to our Maori roots). She told me I had Pakeha blood through Stanaway who; "was a good man and did well by his wife's people".
I'd like to go to England to visit that part of my heritage/whakapapa.
Let's find out who we are and all go aye cuzzies, aunties, uncles and moko's!!
I am Amy Hemi-dad's from Kaeo-my link to Stanaway is on his line.We've been in Ratana Pa for 3 generations now.
