For all of us, as descendants of this " A Good Keen Man " and those who assisted to compile this re- union book , it is important to get the details of our first ancestor in NZ correct . Otherwise the rest of the book & our knowledge , may be classed , by others , as ---" Not a true account of the life of " John Samuel Edmonds " I will start at the beginning ( some of this imfo you may already know ) in the month before he died . ( As already explained in other journals )I have the copies of the original death certificates , their official Death regristrar Numbers . and other official documentation to surport this Journal and other notations .
