Hi KeeneKandy
It's been a while since I have looked at this site. I was doing research on behalf of one of Makereata' great grandchildren. One avenue of enquiry is his grandfather Pita Edmonds line...I do have information pertaining to that. Unfortunately you are late by two weeks, I have just deleted electronic records on my site Tito and Edmonds. But I do have hardcopy notes
