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,

Hi,
Have a look at this site
http://cem.rdc.govt.nz/cemeterysearch/default.html
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.
Cheers, R.
