Lovely to read your comments and see all the photo's of our whanau here.  I've just come back onto the site and have been researching on behalf of my uncles and aunties.  I keep referring them to this site but it's easier for them to get us younger ones to find whanau.  My mum Rose or Kupe Simon was bought up by her grandparents at Waingaro - Tukorehu and Kui Maniapoto - and dad was raised by the Moanaroa's and would visit Tawhi and Maraea nee (Hippolite) (D'Urville Island) when young.  They were his grandparents.  You might know my sister Mori Tipene.  She lives in Hamilton with heaps of moko's.
