Research is so time consuming

which Lawrence are you looking for ??
James or Jimmy married to Hariata. They had Madge, Manu, Maxy, Vince, Jimmy (deceased) and John (my father). John married Heather Maxwell and had Tai (myself) and Maunu, also four half brothers Vincent, Kirk, Eru (deceased) and Grant. I remember Grandmother (Hariata) coming to visit when I was a boy 11-12 and she died a few years later from cancer.
Kia Ora My name is Donna Waiariki(Lawrence)aged 52yrs I am the daughter of Maxy & Ria Lawrence (Edwards)we have not seen no heard from our father since the early 70's he retired from the Army (Burnham)& went to Australia the further over seas. We have since wondered what had happened but were told alsorts of rumers. I recently returned from a h0oliday in Hasting & was shown a Army newsletter by my Uncle Bill Edwards on the page of the Last Post was dads name & number with no date of death or where. Once I got home I decied to dig into this as I was a bit disppointed that dads details were listed but know one bothered to make contact with us, after about two weeks and lots of emails & phone calls we finally found one of dads old army buddies who confimed that dad had become a mercenary in the South America region, & had been executed & buried in an unmarked place. I was very saddened to hear this news but releived as well as we now know & we can put it to rest.

Daughter of Karen Lawrence, and I have uncles Gavin and Wayne, I've been trying to research the family tree as I don't really know much about it and i am hoping I've managed to find some family?
