I have been doing my whakapapa,for 3years now.
I am doing it for my children, and to show them 
where they come from, and be proud of their culture. 
Doing the whakapapa, you have to have big shoulders, 
because where I come from it is Tapu.

To remember our koro and kui, we are hoping to have a reunion of

Being new to the process means that I have little knowledge of 
how to even begin such a venture but I am looking forward to the 
responses that this message will hopefully produce. I need all 
the help I can get please whanau so if any decendants are out 
there or you know of any or even if you could help me in just 
organising the gathering I would greatly apprieciate it.

Dear Hiria

I dont have the immediate knowledge on your grandfather Jack 
Pohatu/Stone. But I can give you a contact name and working address 
of our uncle Dave Stone currently living in Pakipaki Hastings and 
working with Te Puni Kokiri Hastings. 

Our great grandfather was originally a Pohatu who was adopted at 
birth as a Carroll. Our whanau attended a Pohatu reunion at 
Tamanuhiri marae in Muriwai in 1995, and it was through Uncle Dave 
Stone that we knew of this, which, resulted in us gaining a whanau 
connection with relations we never knew we had. It was a marvellous 
time. I dont currently have Uncle Dave's home address or phone 
number, but you will be able to ring Te Puni Kokiri in Hastings who 
will put you on to him. I must say if you have'nt already met him 
and his whanau, you will be greatly pleased. Beautiful people! Uncle 
may not know this but we love him for all he has done for us, and I 
am sure he will likewise do for you. Kia ora Hiria!

Hereora is connected to my whanau on account of another marriage 
that she had to my ancestor, Kawana Hunia. They had two children 
that I am aware of, Pora and Raraku. However, there are no 
descendants from these two. I come from another of Kawana Hunia's 
wives. 

Hereora was from Muaupoko - the Taueki whanau were and still are 
one of the senior Muaupoko whanau. There are Broughtons down there 
also like the kaumatua Jim Broughton who would be authority on the 
whakapapa and other information - maybe you can contact the 
Muaupoko Tribal Authority in Levin - they could put you on to Jim.

As I final note, I have been told that Hereora is buried in 
Whangaehu, which is just south of Whanganui - at an urupa called 
Owhawhakau. This is Ngati Apa land and I dont know why she was 
buried there.

Hope this all helps.

Well known whanau in Waima, Hokianga. Huiroa Tito lives at Waima - 
don't know the address, phonebook will be a good start.
Him and his brothers use to live and work in Tokoroa.

I think his mother was a Harris also. If you do get hold of him, 
just mention "Baby's" daughter gave you his name.

Huiroa's brother passed away last year, not so long after my

Thank you for all of your responses. I know the Tito whanau from 
Waima well my Grand father is Huirua's brother Horotai. It was 
Dave Tito that had died about 9 months ago, he was buried at Waima. 
My message was a bit vague. I really want to know about my 
grandfather on my dad's side and his side - Henry Harrison of 
Whakatane. When I was born in 1977 Henry used to stay in Mangere 
with his first wife. My dad Wayne used to live in a caravan at the 
side of the house. Henry had told me when I was 12 years old that 
Wayne was living with an Aunty in Ngaruawahia.

Now Robert as you are my eldest great grandchild that must mean you are a direct descendant of Atakohu. As I cannot speak to you at this moment and this may not be the correct forum for this subject I would suggest you speak to your mother and listen. I am sure your father knows a little bit to as we often spoke about my grandmother and her family.

Nga mihi nunui ki a koe Dana!

I recognise the names that you have submitted (i.e. Waho Hapuku / 'Hawera'). One of my 
mum's tuakana (older sister) married a Waho from Karioi in Ohakune. Some of the Waho 
whanau use (Te) Hapuku as a middle name, a tupuna, I've been told, who comes from Ngati 
Kahungunu.

As for the name 'Hawera', it seems similar to my Dad's rellies, the HAWIRA whanau. They 
are also from the Ohakune (Ngati Rangi) and Raetihi (Ngati Uenuku) area - All part of 
the wider TE ATIHAUNUI-A-PAPARANGI / WANGANUI people.

Well, that's enough korero to bombard you with at this time, I'm certain we will korero 
soon.

Kia piki te ora.
