Re: Looking for my family Posted by reen renewilson1@hotmail.com April 3, 2003, 7:00 am, in reply to "Looking for my family" 210.54.201.246 Just some information that may help you. Adoption records This is some legislative information regarding how to find out more information about adoptions. The operation of privacy legislation restricts the availability of information to only the birth parents and the child his or herself. 1. When where adoptions introduced in New Zealand Adoptions were made in a Court since 1882. However there was no requirement to notify Births, Deaths and Marriages to endorse the original birth registration or create a new entry with the adoptive details until 1916. Birth records that related to adoptions made prior to 1916 where not updated until the 1980's. It is impossible to detect information through the indexes to birth registrations. The original certificate is endorsed "adopted". All records relating to entry that are endorsed with an adoption endorsement are closed for all access requests, unless the following: The adopted person (only) can apply under the Adult Adoption Information Act 1985 for a copy of the pre adoptive birth certificate if they are 20 years or older. Please note that the birth parents, adoptive parents cannot obtain a copy of the pre adoptive birth record. The birth parents can make an application to Adoption Services, Child Youth and Family for information relating to the new names of the child after adoption. There is provision to apply for a photocopy of a pre adoptive birth registration under Section 76(3) of the Births, Deaths and Marriages Act 1995 for someone else e.g uncle, mother. However all parties to the adoption must be deceased, the adoptive person, birth parent(s) and adoptive parent(s) or 120 years have passed since the birth of the adoptive person. Child Youth and Family deal with Adoptions www.cyf.govt.nz Your birth certificate Once you turn 20, you can write to the Registrar-General of Births, Deaths and Marriage (PO BOX 10 526, Wellington) to get a copy of your original birth certificate (section 4 of the Act). Your birth certificate may show the details of one or both of your birth parents. You must give the Registrar-General: your full name your place of birth your date of birth the full name(s) of your adoptive parents your address the fee needed to obtain the birth certificate.

As i am of Nga-puhi decent are you able to tell me if this is appropriate. thanks Re: Name "Uenuku" Can Nga Puhi use it? Posted by Trevor April 15, 2003, 6:03 am, in reply to "Name " 198.142.146.114 Hi Vanessa In my humble opinion there is no reason why you can not use Uenuku as a name for your son as there is no logical reason that you can not use Tamatekapua or any other name that you choose. However if you would like to link your son's name to one of your tipuna then some research might find an appropriate and meaningful one to use. Each of the tribes are able to trace themselves back to the mystical and heavenly gods like Uenuku in some form or another. In answer to your question - Only Nga Puhi as a people can answer your question but if you were asking the question as a Nga Puhi descendant, it is up to you entirely what name you choose for your son.

Re: Want to find out more about pictures? Posted by Trevor April 29, 2003, 5:20 am, in reply to "Want to find out more about pictures?" 198.142.146.114 A lot of pictures and photographs of maori men and women have been the results of excellent works by people like Lindauer, Goldie and Sangl. Many more reprints and copies have been made and they could number into the thousands. Of course the pictures you have could have been done by someone else entirely. Your use of the term 'pictures' does not describe the works enough to make an educated guess - are they oil paintings, sketches, photographs etc because it can rule out a number of artists. Suggestion 1. Go to your local library and tell them your problem, they will point you in the right direction. 2. Post copies to this notice board and you could possibly get a response. Good Luck Re: beginner Posted by annie March 28, 2003, 3:11 am, in reply to "beginner" 219.88.56.133 try going to the local museums, its amazing what information they have and they could also possess copies.

Re: Name - Rukuwai Posted by Marion Whyte May 9, 2003, 8:40 am, in reply to "Re: Ngarotata / Wikaira" 210.55.230.18 Hi, I was wondering if you know whether you are related to a rukuwai kamahi, or any of the rukuwai's from waikato? Re: Name - Rukuwai Posted by Rona Cockle lescockle@xtra.co.nz June 1, 2003, 11:01 pm, in reply to "Re: Name - Rukuwai" 210.54.247.221 Kia ora Marion... Sorry for taking so long in answering your query re. your the name Rukuwai. My Mothers name Ruku Rukuwai Rukumoana was given from her great-great-great grandmother of Kahungungu/Tuwharetoa descent who was the common law wife of one William Swainson. I am not sure if there is any connection to Rukuwai Kamahi (will have to ask my son about that) but on both my Mother and Fathers side am related to a Theo Rukuwai who is currently residing in Hamilton. Keep in touch if you find out anymore. Would like to know more from this side. Hei kona ra.

You might like to try contacting the whanau at Ngati Tukorohe ki Kapiti. Wehipeihana are a well known family who live in Otaki and Manukau (kuku) on the kapiti coast. Since you live in Austrialia you may wish to have a look at the marae shown by a tourist who stayed there recently. Go "Google" search, type in Ngati Tukorehe, have a look.

However I hope this will help you in your quest. give me your email address and i will send you what i was given by one of the Rapira whanau from the Wairarapa. I too am looking where the Rapira originated from. I am from the Hokianga. born in rawene hospital. My wife is also from the hokianga and her name is Frieda (English Father) and my three children Raymond Jame 22 Sarah Agnes 20 and Danielle Mataareta 7. 7. My dad was born in Hokianga and his Dad name was Matiu Rapira and his Dad was Hone Piko. We beleive our greatgrandfather Hone Piko may have come from down the NTH ISLAND. "Still searching." So I have just kept to my grandfather Matiu for this moment,who he married Monika (Nika) Peita of Pungaru and they had 7children, Hemi, Katarina, Atiria, Nere,Riwa,Pio,and Taniere (Dan)my Dad who married Maatareta Hotere of Matehitehi (Mitimiti) Hoikanga.My Parents had 10boys and nine girls. One of the girls was my eldest sisters daughter who i had the pleasure of growing up with. We are both 50th this year. She is 5 months older than I. In Whakapapa she is my neice but to me she is my elder sister. So Bianca you have the name Rapira and it is a unique name. In the Hokianga the Rapira name is connected to many whanau. Enough for now and I look forward to you.
