Her name is Ann Lidiard and Makee is in brackets. Her mum was Ann Kearaki, possibly from Akaroa, who married a whaler (John Lidiard) in 1844 in Bluff. Ann Kearaki's remains were accidently uncovered when Tiwai Smelter was being built. It was said to be an unusual find, as she was clutching an adze in her left hand, possibly indicating a person of high rank. Her husband, John Clark Lidiard, came to NZ on a whaling ship in 1824, leaving the ship with several others because of poor treatment. They came ashore somewhere in the Bay of Plenty where they were attacked and only my ancestor survived as the chief's daughter concealed him with a cloak. It is believed that he stayed with this tribe for 7 years before joining another whaling ship and heading to Akaroa. If any of this information rings a bell, please contact me, as I would love to know more about thier fascinating lives. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Te Purei/Kiroki Whanau" Posted by Wiremu Hiroki stevens-hiroki@xtra.co.nz May 4, 2003, 7:07 am 210.54.247.221 Trying to find whanau on both of my parents sides which are both from the East Coast. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Kingi/Rihari Whanau" Posted by Anne Margret Stevens stevens-hiroki@xtra.co.nz May 4, 2003, 6:34 am 210.54.247.221 Trying to locate whanau from my Great-Grandparents.

I have a slightly different line, but we were aware of the Rangimakere whanau, though we never knew who they were. I am interested in your line as it is going to clear up a grey area in our whakapapa, and confirm either way.

Taupaki Hohepa Cassidy -Father Katerina Birch. -Mother. Daughter- Arihia Katete Cassidy, born Waima area 1883 approx Re: Whakapapa Search Katete(Cassidy) Posted by Mike McCarthy MikeMcCarthy@xtra.co.nz June 30, 2003, 3:46 am, in reply to "Whakapapa Search Katete(Cassidy)" 219.88.32.162 Diana, Your correct so far FYI.. Taupaki Cassidy's father was Thomas Cassidy who married Maraea Kuri Te Wao Paehangi. As for Arihai (not sure) I do have a Arama and a Thomas as siblings of Taupaki. You could be confused with Arihai Whittingham (descendant of Mere Jane Cassidy) who married Mita Hohepa.

Kulani Calina April 15, 2003, 12:06 am 165.248.247.131 Aloha mai: My great-great-great-grandmother was Susan Hu Parker. Hu maybe short for "Huata." She immigrated to Hawai'i in the 1800's. She may have been Mormon, because her name was listed in the Utah, USA files. If this name seems familiar, please contact me. We are interested in researching our Maori roots. Family History: Susan Hu Parker married into a native Hawaiian family. Her grand-daughter was of the Kauwe family, Hawai'i island. She (Kauwe) is my great-grandmother. Because of our history (Cook; Immigration from Asia for the Sugar Plantations; Annexation to the U.S.) Hawaiians today are of mixed ancestry, but We consider ourselves "Hawaiian." I am of native Hawaiian, Filipino, Japanese, English and Maori ancestry. *(SIDEBAR) Persons born in Hawai'i but not of native Hawaiian ancestry are called Kama'aina (children of the land) or "Local." Native Hawaiians are also called Kama'aina, or O'iwi, Maoli or Kanaka. Please contact me if you have any leads on Susan Hu Parker. You can reach me at tristan@hawaii.edu Mahalo Tristan Kulani Calina teacher at Waiakea High School Hilo, Hawai'i, USA -------------------------------- G E N E o N Z------------------------------------------- c o l l a t e d 7 Jul 2003 http://www.geocities.com/wlorac/name16.txt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FOR GENERAL VIEW OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC WITHOUT PAYMENT OF FEES OR PRIVATE MEMBERSHIP
