My Husband and I are guardians of Venus Amelia Duffy she is now 11yrs old. Her mother is Christine Duffy and her Father Jackson Te Keeti. Her grandmother (fathers side ) is Kiria Te Keeti (nee Oktober) her Grandfather was Tau Te Keeti.I have a list of uncles and aunts 22 in total. The ones I have are Ameli Frances Daniel Eva McMahon Doc and Kipoaka All Te Keeti/Gates and Roy and Linley so they must be related to Venus. I am trying to build her family tree as she has no contact with any siblings. Amgela Jason and Karl Mother Margaret McLeaod are 1/2 siblings on her fathers side. If u get this message and find anything out I would greatly appreciate any help. We live in Tauranga/ Omokoroa NZ Janet Stearn
