William & Dolly MATANGI have three living children (two sons and a daughter). Living male MATANGI* never validly married Mary Coulter Eadie HUGHES 1936-2008 and they had a daughter in 1958 Hamilton, New Zealand. *It is known that this Living male MATANGI served in Korea, and later married and had three daughters.

Barry adopted Mary's daughter and the couple went onto have three children in New Zealand, adopting two children, then emigrating to Australia and having their last child in Queesland.

Note: Sources of information has mostly been family, then I found a few IGI Individual Records online at FamilySearch.org.

If anyone could assist with the MATANGI line it would be greatly appreciated as I am helping my niece with this part of her family tree.

Alison.

Dear FamilyTreeCirclers,

If you would like a treasured photograph restored, with no catches, no fine print, etc., register as a rootschatter for free, then you can use the site's services.

The link below is to the photograph restoration board:-

RootsChat - General - Photograph Restoration

As all the restoration work done on this forum is of a voluntary nature, could you please post no more than a couple of images a week. This will give the volunteers more time to work on your images and hopefully you will get the results you are after.

Have a read of all or some of the Sticky Topics re suggestions on posting your photographs for possible restoration. Then try and scan your images as big as you can with the higher the dpi's the better as it gives the restorers more to work with.

They do an absolutely amazing job. Look at some of the photos already restored.


Cheerio from Alison.
