I started this Tribal pages or
 (Whakapapa page) about 1997-9
approximately 
 What urged me to do it, was 
 going to my dads Marae,
  Te Ohaki in Ahipara to
 Uncle Bill Tipenes tangihanga.
 There 350 or more people that
 attended, I was flabbergasted coz I 
 only knew five of my Whanau there, 
 that was my dad's 4 sisters, 
 Aunty Kui, Martha, Tani and 
 Liza and dads young bro Uncle Billy 
 the bus driver, so really I 
 didn't know the rest of the 
 manuhiri or I didn't 
 know what/who/ how the connections 
were to my dad.  
Worst of all I knew 
absolutely nothing about my dad,
 or Ahipara, and Te Kao n his 
 Tipuna,

My Auntys knew most of the 
 elderly ones of the 350 plus Whanau 
 but how uncanny those face 
 features, I could see dad, and 
 uncle Henry, Uncle Billy. 
 That's when I decided I wanted 
 to know more about my dads 
 Whakapapa, then naturally mums side
 also.
