My name is Mariana Pukeroa, my dad is Pateriki Hohepa Pukeroa his father was Ngakuru Pareima Pukeroa the eldest son of Tuhi and Pareima Pukeroa, from what I understand they moved from Waikere, Ahipara to Pawerenga with their children, this is where I believe he met my nana Amelia Waipouri, mainly known as Cussi, her parents were my namesake Mariana and Amato Waipouri, and this is about the extent of my knowledge. I am interested in obtaining more information and especially if im able to obtain pictures of Tuhi and Pareima as no one in my whanau have any and maybe a more comprehensive and accurate whakapapa for my whanau. I am aware that we descend from the first two sisters that came from the Waikato, daughters of Kingi Mahuta (my mums side). Knowledge is power and I would love to have more evidence for future generations of Te Uri O Pukeroa.
