welcome to our family site, I have been working on this for a while now  I have had heaps of help already from Phyllis Gutsell, who has been allowing  me to copy off the tree that her late husband Bill and daughter Karen Sim worked  so hard on, so many family have emailed me with their lines and we really  appreciate it, keep up the great work...
 I am going to start updating our Harpur side please let me know if you would like to have your lines added 
 Anyone wishing to start up their own site like this are welcome to email me  for help ...its actually quite easy, and fun.....

I am very gratefull to Nerina Dixon, Sharon Cooper, Rebecca Te Koari,  Anna  and Gavin Mahaki, and especially to Anna's niece Selina, who helped us find  our whanau on our grandfathers side.....
