He dosent know his father, he buggered off back to Australia (where he was born) when Grif was just a baby.. Griffins Nana moved to Aussie too a couple of years back, but up until then, lived in Ruatahuna. She still owns the house as far as I know, not sure whos living there now! Anyway her name is Charmaine Ormsby, we have been trying to get in touch with her but no joy yet. Griffin just wants to learn a wee bit about his family history so if anyone can point us in the right direction it would be great!! I visited Charmaine in Ruatahuna when I was pregnant with Griffin, I can see why they say "children of the mist" its such a peaceful magical place, like a differernt world! I loved it, wish she still lived up there!! Kia Ora peeps:) Cadi |

Hey peoples, as you can see, im a descendant of the Waimana crowd. I live up in Aux now, moved up from Paeroa. Im going back down home to see the whanau @ the Ahurei so that should be great. But the main point why im here is to ask for help. See im part of a sub-committee up in Aux that acts on behalf of Te Pouahinau marae. So im asking anyone and everyone for a helping hand at the marae working bee during May the 1st, 2nd & maybe the 3rd 2009. We (the aux whanau)are ready to kruz down on that weekend to break our backs for the marae and the whanau. So if youre free and willing to help (because we'll need all the help we can get) please tell your whanau and friends that we need a hand and come along. There will be food and drinks provided for all the helpers as well so that's a bonus. Might have a few cold beers after all the hard work too. So if you can, just turn up to the marae on the 1st, 2nd & 3rd of May 09. Or you can get a hold of me via my email. You can either text or ring me on 021 156 - 2056. Thanks whanau !!! |

Jan passed away years ago as did my Dad Bob. I am looking for connections as I do not know the Maori side of my family. I also now have a son and want to pass to him some of his heritage. I would appreciate anyone giving me information about Nellie and the family. Thank you. Rob |

| My whaakaro: | Does the crown really have Tuhoe land or can tuhoe do as they please. The crown say they have tuhoe land but it looks like a lie. What if you all start building your way. and start securing your own towns and offering people to come live in paradise under tuhoe security. Maybe you can build all the basic needs, like shops and Maori can come with their goods to sell from your towns and yous even can talk only Maori where people can come and practice their Maori. The government says they wont to revive the Maori language. So why would they refuse a tribe who will pull together and help this revival of the Maori language and culture or are they lying about that too. The days of invading is over..yes they want to practice their rule over you tuhoe. but its a fake. Its always been a fake. "What if they come back with their guns" If they do that who are they going to shoot. And if they shoot someone what will happen then? Ob cause..Tuhoe wont allow that. So why wait, maybe you all need to start something good. but thats right this is a dream book |
