In '93 I visited Miti Miti to bury my beloved friend Clayton Dunn, Charlie's nephew. Meeting their family was such comfort to me, I have never forgotten the love I was shown. I fell in love with the Dunns but eventually lost contact, and am yearning to catch up again. Clayton's mother Shirley has since died and I would so love to talk with someone close to him again, I still miss him badly and his photo has never been taken down. To all the beautiful men, women and children I met on the marae: I hope you are all well, you changed my life.

I know your grandmother well. What do you need to know? Neta, Hiki and Hohaia are brother and sisters. Children of Atama Paparangi. Hohaia married Roharima Tahana and for whakapapa reasons too lengthy to go into in this forum they had no children. Hoihaia and Roharima whangai'd your Gt Grandmothers brothers. Uncle Syd and others.

More Te Korohunga, the father of Wheeru, Te Ikanui, Kupe, Te Kakati and Uruhapainga, was killed during a battle in that general area. Most likely against Ngati Tumamao. More Te Korohunga had great mana and as was the custom of that time, his body was placed on a flat rock and he was cut up and eaten. There was not enough of him to go around the victorious warriors so his blood was licked from the rock. The rock is still there and can be seen near the Taikarawa stream. Kia ora. Tena koe.

He took alot of photos in rotorua and they supposedly owned land out at Owhata. The land is marked by Iles Rd with the boundry line to beasley road. We have all the info on the grandfather but nothing on Rebecca. She is my daughters great great grandmother. I was wondering whether Wiremu Paki Ututoanga was her father or perhaps grandfather. It would be great to find a link somewhere as her name has drawn a blank. Its as if she dosen't exist. Can you please help?
