"Looking for Snowball New Zealand"
I am looking for information on my great Grand Parents Charlotte & Cuthbert Snowball. I think they lived in Central North Island New Zealand. My grand mother Constance Ann Veronica Snowball was one of the daughters.

your grandmother's name was actually Constance Veronica Ruth Snowball
She was born 20 Jan 1916 in Rangataua & died in 1997 aged 71
She married Mana Phillips (1908-1976) and had about 17 children
Fantastic! My mother didn't know these details. Do you have any information on Mana Phillips?
Hi,
If I want to build on my Grandmother's side, how do I do this?
Do you have any information on Annie Maata (nee Coffin) and tom Maata who lived in Piopio? Annie is my grandmother on my father's side.
hi trishpeehi,
have a look at this posting NZ Regional Archives

Hi,
Have a look at this site

Type in Snowball. There are two notices there that might be of help to you?
The surname Snowball is well known in Rotorua. Try Papers Past too.
