Had such an enjoyable time at the Māori Interest Group research afternoon yesterday at NZSG! Chatted to the group about what I do at The Family Archives and shared some stories and items from my own whānau. #genealogy #archives #familyhistory #whakapapa #nz #ngaitahu

If it's "essential reading for the descendants of Tahu Pōtiki" then it's going on my reading list! Shall I get in the long library hold request queue, go in and read it at the special collections room, or buy my own copy 🤔 #whakapapa #ngaitahu #familyhistory #ancestors

My mini-review of this really wonderful book: It's a must-read if your ancestors, like mine, descend from a pivotal union between a Ngāi Tahu Māori woman, and one of the male colonial settlers who arrived as whalers in the mid-1800s. #nz #familyhistory #genealogy #ngaitahu buff.ly/Kd2DixJ
