i just found out that i have pakeha blood in me via stanaway

so if you want to look further, contact the Marae in Dargaville. A family tree is being prepared for 2007 with respect to the 'Maori' side.

so if youre a stanaway, then you're related to me.

Dear 'MethodicTwigs', Haere Mai ... Welcome to FamilyTreeCircles.

My husband has both Pakeha and Maori bloodlines.

We can't easily contact the Marae in Dargaville as we're Aussies. Would like to find out Whakapapa for husband and our children. We have great respect for Maori ways and traditions (and what every programme on the TV about New Zealand that we can). Can't wait to visit one day.

If you click on STANAWAY above with your mouse, you will see another journal written here with a photograph of husband's great grandmother. Husband even looks a bit like her. Hera was a granddaughter of Capt John James STANAWAY and Henipapa Te Hokaanga also known as Minarapa.

Regards,
Alison from Queensland in Australia.

Dear Allycat,

My sister and I both are descendants of Capt JJ Stanaway and have a copies of Tides of Time but in NZ my sister lives in the Gold Coast and returning to NZ in August for a week she will then pick this up - if you're interested in looking email her at maorifarnthgal@hotmail.com - keep in mind you can only view personally, we don't believe in putting these on the net and there are few of us that have copies of the entire Whakapapa AND way too many pages to photocopy

Regards
Sarah from NZ

Hi, Shona directed me to this site. My mothers' maiden name is Stanaway. We too are descended from Capt Stanaway. We have a family book so will have to speak to my grandmother and find out all info I can for you. Hone Heke also shows in our family tree. From memory Capt Stanaway and of Hone Hekes' daughters started off our line. Will get back to you when have more facts.
Regards
Michelle

Dear Sarah and Michelle, Hello. Nice to hear from you both via this site. Would absolutely love more information on behalf of hubby and sons.

Thanks in advance,
Alison from downunder.

Hi, I was just browsing up on Stanaway family trees. Im also a descendent of Capt Stanaway but thats all i know. Id like to look into my family history some more.. My mothers maiden name is Monica Stanaway, Her fathers name was: David Grant Stanaway(born:7may1919),his father:Joseph Patrick Stanaway and his : Henare Joseph Stanaway. hope thats some help. i was just interested.

Thanks
Laura

Dear Laura, Welcome. Make sure you click on the blue link above 'Myras Place - Tides of Time' and go through the STANAWAY file in great detail.

I haven't come across any of your names before...

Q.Could your Henare Joseph Stanaway be Henry Stanaway born 18 Apr 1850 Gisborne Auckland NZ? Son of Capt John James STANAWAY & Henipapa Minarapa (TE HOKAANGA)?

Q.What were the female names in your line?

Alison.

Hi allycat,
I have a site which names siblings, my mother, grandparents and their parents are listed, it doesnt go very far back than those generations on the stanaway side though. it also lists the female names which are the Read and Maxwell lines. this link lists my grandparents and their children (including my mother monica) -

http://www.myrasplace.net/inez/fam01057.htm

my great grandfather Joseph Patrick Stanaway was born 20th april 1872, in wairoa, nz. the site doesnt have a link for his father Henare Joseph Stanaway but it could be very likely he was born the date you stated.

Laura

i will tell you letter

Info re: dargaville/ruawai marae

In relation to my post

Hi, I am trying to find where to purchase the Stanaway book with the family tree that goes through the Chapman family. My wife and kids are decendants through the Chapman, Kuku(Cook), Minarapa bloodlines. Part of Mangamuka marae.
Does anyone have a GEDCOM file that has these ancestries in them?
Regards
Dave

My husband's grandfather Charlie Maynard MARRINER who was sometimes known as Minarapa was the nephew of Ripene Minarapa through his great grandmother Kuwhara Minarapa Tika* who was sister of Ripene and daughter of Ngaere Minarapa Tika-Stanaway and Irahapeti (or Rihi) Tanapo Stanaway. Search my MARRINER journals here to see her photograph*.

Hi ally cat. Ripene Minarapa (F) married - Hii Kuku/Cook, who are my grandmothers parents:o)

Children:
Akinihi (Agnes) Cook
Haro Cook
Ngahuia Julia Cook
Haro Cook
Parehuia Cook
Karena Cook
Ketiorangi Cook
Erihapeti Totokawera (Karewa) Cook (GRANDMOTHER)

Hi kukucook, Thanks but I already have that information including birth dates except for Ngahuia (Julia) Kuku /Cook who married Meto Toki son of Toki Pangari and Waitote Turi Makara. Do you know when/where she was born?

And I notice you have Haro Cook written twice. Is this an error? Or did the first Haro Cook die young and they named their fourth child in his honour?

Let me know if you want me to write the birth details here and also who the Cook children married.

Alison.

I too am a descendant of Ripene Minarapa/Hii Kuku.
My grandmothers name was Erihapeti Totokarewa.
My fathers name Richard Maynard Cook/Collins (Karena).
His father was Joe Karena, buried at Waikumete Cemetry,Auckland,NZ.

Just wanting to hook up, and gather more information and any pictures that may be out there.

Which one are you:o)

Anyone know where 'Maynard' comes from? I've seen it popping up in a few descendant's names, esp. husband's maternal grandfather.

From the looks of things they are are also descendants of JJ Stanaway. See "Tides of Time".

I had a look, now I'm wondering who was Tika MAYNARD who may have been born about the 1870s?

Only one Haro Cook, Typing error:o)

Alternatively look on maori.org

cheers

See Geni.com

Info is still being posted Re: all above blogs. completion may take several months if not more.

Cheers.

Kia-Ora tatou!

i too am a descendant of Stanaway although I'm not too sure how and am keen to learn more. I believe my grandmothers; Harata Rogan, great grandmother was married to him as arranged by Hone Heke-his grand daughter.
My nan was raised in Parirau Marae in Oruawharo.

I remember my nan telling me before leaving home for Maori boarding school the importance of Paakeha education, (we hold strong to our Maori roots). She told me I had Pakeha blood through Stanaway who; "was a good man and did well by his wife's people".
I'd like to go to England to visit that part of my heritage/whakapapa.
Let's find out who we are and all go aye cuzzies, aunties, uncles and moko's!!
I am Amy Hemi-dad's from Kaeo-my link to Stanaway is on his line.We've been in Ratana Pa for 3 generations now.

Kia ora Whanau

I would say I am right in some way or rather saying whanau.
I am related to the Stanaway side through the Cook side,being Hii Kuku,whose daughter was Ketiorangi who was my grandmother and her oldest son , Karena being my father.
I know their is a book that was being updated quite often with the children that were being born,Ithink the last time I remember ti being updated was at least 10 yrs ago, also I heard there is a copy of it in the Kaeo library anyway this is a great way to find the,boatjumpers,ditch jumpers & I spose the fence jumpers,(hehe).
But in all hope too meet up with those I havent met,white ,yellow,black,blue or green and like the previous comment and say.
Kia ora Cuz!!!

Hi there everyone,came across this site by accident but looks really good. I too am a decendant of Stanaway. I am the grandchild of Richard (Dick) Maynard and Noeline Gibson. I dont know the full story of names ill have to get that off Dick and Noelene has not a strong memory. One of the Maynards married a Charlie Stanaway??? If anyone knows the details would be great.

regards
Matt

Wow...Kia ora koutou
There is whole string of us that don't know anything about our tupuna JJ Stanaway and thanks to allycat who has been in the history game for ages who has made me more aware of names such as Henipapa who just happens to be my great great great grandmother. Anybody holding any info on these two would be greatly appreciated.
kind regards
Tui

You're most welcome.

I'm still piecing together bits of the story, and this is not yet verified, but I have been told in an email by another descendant that after Ida Isabel STANAWAY's 1883-1944 mother died (I don't know her name but she died possibly in childbirth or later on) she and her father (Capt John James STANAWAY) went to Riverhead and met up with two Maori women who were sisters*, who wet nursed the infant, Isobel. Capt John James Stanaway married one sister and had a number of children, then married the other and had more children.

*namely Witaperene (Black Ann) and Henipapa, both daughters of Mohi Ti Hokaanga II, whose two wives were Harihura and Wetekia Minarapa (no doubt possibly sisters also).

I would really really love to see photographs of those who have passed on.

Alison.

Hi all,

Ok, I've been trawling through Geni.com and still can't find MINARAPA or KARENA.

{To do this for those of you who haven't checked out the site, you scroll down to the bottom of the webpage, to the small text entitled About, Directory, GEDCOM, Terms, Privacy, Safety, Blog, Forum and Help. Click on DIRECTORY and you will see a screen entitled Directory of Family Names on Geni, by letter A through to Z. No search button I'm afraid.

Any progress made? I know these things take time.

Thanks,
Alison.

Hi all,

I am also a descendent of Capt JJ stanaway, my last name is still stanaway. I belive our family has a family tree(book)that dates back all the way to JJ i live in australia will have to follow up to find out more.

I have seen people talk on this site abnout Maynard family some close friend are maynards where abouts in NZ are most maynards descended from jj stanaway

The majority of Maynards in my family are here in Auckland and have been for some yrs, but think originally from way up north back in the days.

Hi All

I must be the newseeeet of the whanu group. I also live in Auckland,New Zealand. Still currently a Stanaway also. The book Allycat has mentioned is called "tides of time" Referring to Capt JJ stanaway. his first wife died on ship giving birth to isbella. this book was put out when I was in my earily teens, about 20 years ago. As far as I'm aware capt JJ stanaway had FIVE wives to start his big family off. this includes the lady that gave birth on boat over to nz< LOL

Hi 'stanaway', Welcome and Kira Ora. I only know of four wives.

At the Marriner Family Genealogy Forum there's a March 15, 2008 'Marriners in NZ' posting by Polli Marriner mentioning Tides of Time. They have photographed the book and are offering digital copies of any information.

I only just saw the entry, so as yet haven't corresponded with P.Marriner.

Alison.

I will check and get back to you as I konow their is a few books in my family, if this helps?
