Looking for Himi Te Haara
Himi Te Haara married Matehaere Heni Minarapa and were the parents of my grand mother Ihapera ( Isabella ) who was married to Ngaungau Aporo Tipene of Mangamuka who are the the parents of my mother Ripene Ruby who married David Henry ( Rewi Jimmy ) Adlam.
Of my husband's Whanau, his great grandmother's name was Kuwhara (Hera) MINARAPA Tika 1869~1917 who married Hori Marena 1864~1956 (George Marriner) from the Wellington and Auckland areas of NZ. The couple had 11 children, their 2nd daughter was named Ihapera Marena (Marriner).
