Any Information on Karauti Family Tree from Waiuku OR Te Atiawa Out There How Do I Find Where a Maori Woman was Buried I Have Her Maiden Name as...

I do not have her actual first name as suspect Moko was a nickname. There is zero evidence she married a Potter. No birth or death record anywhere. Only that she gave birth to a son originally named Purepure James Karauti.

Best place would be to try The Whakapapa Club

Very helpful page is "How to do a Whakapapa Search"
(wait a couple of secs for it to load)

the following may assist. you in your ancestry search. The surname " Karauti" would under the old maori traditions + practices would be usually the first name of that persons father . the following is from the maori genealogy for Waiuku which is available on line. Hope your reseach goes well.

Waiuku has two marae affiliated with the Waikato Tainui hapÅ« of Te Ä€kitai, Ngāti Paretaua and Ngāti Te Ata: ReretÄ“whioi Marae and its Arohanui meeting house, and Tāhuna Marae and its Teuwira meeting house.
