About Te Whanau a Wihongi
2015 Update: Kia ora whanau... it is so good to be back in these pages having been locked out when my email address changed. Its practically been a few years of emails requesting administrator access with my new email address but well worth the fight getting back in. My apologies if you have been waiting for replies, edits or access to the site. So as you can probably guess theres a lot of updates to be added and so I will do my best to find out dates, new additions to families and important milestones as well as upload new photos.
Never before in all my years of having an interest in Whakapapa have I seen so many new sites, tools and applications with information sharing at its best. Virtual cememteries, sites that allow photo/audio/stories and document sharing alongside of family history. So many of us are connecting family lines through these new sites. Sites such as:
myheritage.com
billongraves.com
Findmypast.com
Ancestry.com
whakapapa.maori.org.nz
familytreecircles.com
So much at our fingertips. I will be updating the photos shortly over the next month or so but feel free to add some. Please feel free to forward any updates of information and family lines. Even panui for reunions etc can forwarded. Lets reignite the spark and continue on. Look forward to hearing from you.

Kia ora whanau,
It has certainly been a while since the site was updated but looking at getting this polished up for the new year 2011. THank you to all those who have taken the time to sign the guestbook and also leaving your contact details. Just wanted you to know to "watch this space" as we connect more whanau over the year and leave footsteps for others to follow. Looking at updating the photos in a little while so keep tapping back to visit the site. Remember you can email me any additions and I will gladly update our pages.
The surname WIHONGI came from our common ancestor Wiremu Hongi TE RIPI. We are searching for all of his descendants.
The site name was amended by David TE RATA and we will be forever indebted to Melanie HILLAM for all the work it to not only took to get this site to where it is today, but inspire others to have their own sites.
To those of you who have also contributed your whanau information a big thank you and an invitation to drop in regularly and see whats new. And speaking of which it is my please to accept the invitation to be the new whanau administrator to this site.
Please let me know if there are any additions or corrections that need to be made to your line (there will probably be heaps of mistakes - they are not intended to offend). Slowly I am going through each line and making corrections. To speed this up just email me any additions and I will add them to the site...ie marriages, children, death dates etc.
Arohanui
