RachaelEBelshaw on 2011-09-25 15:41:11KIA ora Betty. My sister had 3 children to Philip TeKata of Matapihi,Tauranga. His step father was a Holloway. Philip died in 2007 in Papamoa. I think he was in his late 40s when he died. He has a brother Frank who lives in Australia. He also has a few sisters but I have no info where they are. I don't know Philip's mothers name but I think she may be still living in Matapihi.

My name is Te Kata Te Manawanui Te Kata. Just wanted to let you know I've already sent you a private message. I would like to help you with your search. As the name suggests I am your whanau, your first cousin in fact. Auntie Terewai and my mother, Nancy Parerawhiti Anatahia Te Kata were full sisters.
Would love to communicate with you soon.
