Answer 1

Kia ora. We are descendants of HEREHERE (aka HAEHAE) Herangi who married RETA (aka MAKARETA) of Te Wairau and begat HETARAKA Herangi. HETARAKA (aka SAM, CEDRIC) married PUTAKA Watson of Te Atiawa Picton and they had four daughters, TINI Love, RUBY, HARIATA (aka HARRIET) and our grandmother ORIWIA (aka OLLIE). Our grandmother married ORIKENA (aka OLI) Nathan Hohaia of Te Rarawa, Nga Puhi tonu and they had ten children. My mother is the third youngest in the family. This is what is recorded by us about HEREHERE HAEHAE Herangi and RETA MAKARETA Herangi. In addition to this, we understand that MANIHERA Herangi and RAMARI were the parents of HEREHERE HAEHAE Herangi. We would appreciate any information with regards to te Herangi Whanau Whakapapa.
