yes we have some birth and marriage certificates. Marriage cert for John Macgregory and Mary Taite - 5th April 1998.
I'm interested in looking before Hohipaea to find out prior to that if anyone has any info.

Did you follow that connection?

Have you made any contact with Whakatohea Maori Trust Board to ask about any linage info, or who they have to help folk with descent queries.
Following maori land records may reveal something also. to find which hapy she was associated with.
Do you have any possible names for her parents (probably in prior links..I'll go back and have  a read..

searching I have discovered that my kids are descendants of Muriwai,  sister of Toroa the Araki  (superior Chief who migrated to Aotearoa.)on the Mataatua canoe. Which means that you must be also Grassmoa. This is from the Kennedy family history which is quite indepth. Don't really quite understand all of the layout of the family tree at http://www.jillsjottings.orconhosting.net.nz/Kennedy%20History%202.htm
but http://www.jillsjottings.orconhosting.net.nz/Kennedy%20History.htm is quite informative also.
Thanks everyone.

Hi there Grassmoa and Alimack

I was researching two years ago and have since changed computers, downloaded info that I had researched and changed email addresses etc.  and basically due to family commitments put my research on hold!!

Amazingly yesterday I thought about the geneology work I had started on my grandmother's side of the family - she was Harriet's sister - Margrett McGregor - daughter of John McGregor and Mary Taruke.
Thought it was about time I spent some time on it again!!  So called into this site.

Was so pleased to see your emails - happy to share any information - please feel free to email me.

Kind regards
Crystal

Hi Crystal,

Do you have any information on Mary Taruke Taite?

[lexxbabe]

Hi I am a descendant of Mary (Mere) Taruke Taite her daughter Harriet is my great grandfather's mum (My great grandfather is Francis Rudolph Shortcliffe.) His son Alexander Vesta Shortcliffe married Vera Nellie McGillivray their daughter Lynette Ann Shortcliffe married Eparaima Morton Manuirirangi from Taranaki and I am their youngest child. I have been doing genealogy for quite awhile and have all the information that has been passed down. There is not much information on Mary Taruke Taite at this stage although I am hunting.
