Would appreciate help from anyone. The only info I have at present is my farther's name was Hemi Noa, and he was adopted into the Tenamu whanau in Tautoro just out of Kaikohe. My farther was born in 1900 but on his birth certificate it is 1905. I believe his farther was Pouaka Noa or my farthers surname was spelt Noah. and as far as I know, my farther grand farther were from the Ngapuhi rohi. help from anyone would be much appreciated. naku no na, Rewi Noa.
