Great comments Allan. Would be interesting to known more about the native family but finding it difficult to tap into. Have you read the Book by Carol Dawber "Jacksons of Te Awaiti"? It is a good read and a worthy example of a good well written record of family history and early New Zealand.
thank you . Know I haven't . I have just started on a personal program in ancestral research of trying to trace some of the families from many countries that have assisted to make our country( the ordinary folk ) back to their homelands and beyond if i can - I am still on another research program at present which we ere just past 1/2 way , ( looking at posibly another 2/ 3 months to complete . -- another month to sort out . At the moment I am just putting my toe into the waters ( so to speak ) I hoping other members may get interested also thanks again
