The Children of John Tucker Edmonds and Raiha Pekama
Kia ora Whanau...
Am interested in the updates on my grandmother Reihas brothers and sisters and their descendents. Living locally and close to Ngawha I am fortunate to still have my mother Rhybon with me and visit St Michaels often. Its a blessing to live amongst whanau but I realise there are still so many I have not yet met. Thats where the website comes in.
It has been exciting learning of Ganny Nanakias (Kereama) line in the East Coast over the past few years. Even more so to recently read of a reunion held in the Coast some time ago. Where would we be with out tribalpages.com, msn groups (now finished but worth its weight in gold at the time) and bebo. Although I tried to start a group I failed miserably in learning how to add people to it so they only link into my personal page. Must revisit that again soon and get the hang of it just to make those connections. Will see...otherwise will start again.lol. I am listed in bebo as dund4u so if your related and you want to be added to my page, just send a quick note by email to wihongis@xtra.co.nz with your login info and I will search for you and add you.
This is one of the lines I am interested of the many that there are. I am interested in photos of nanny and her brothers and sisters and their families etc. If I have "done this wrong" please forgive a first-timer. It can only get better...

Kia ora, I am from....Arapera Titihuia (Karani/Bella) Kauwhata (Edmonds) and John tucker Edmonds line. Their son, Peita Manihera Kauwhata married Minnie Kauwhata (nee Atama/Adams). They had a daughter, Katarina Manusell (married Kaka Waru- whangape, hokianga) had my mum, Kathleen Harrison (nee Waru). I am looking for any whanau connected to this line and anyline going back above to any whanau in Dorset, England. Thank you

I am a descendent of Kereama (Nanakia) Edmonds. His eldest daughter I believe, was my great grandmother Pani Paenoa Edmonds who married Arapeta Wanoa from down the east coast
