Kia Ora 'parearauk' I've registered as a new member tonight due to thoughts of so many of our loved ones no longer with us. I can only tell you as a little girl my Tipuna talked of her 2 brave brothers Watene & Wananga and that it's been marvellous to find this site and actually put the faces to the names. She was Hikitia Te Rangi HAIG-BEACH. As I learn more I hope to post more information. Sorry I can't be of more help.
