Thanks for that I was always told that we had Maori blood and that is what most of the family believes,could never find anything to prove that but now this answers the question as to where we come from.
maybe the family was embarrassed and made up story ,I am really excited to find a different ancestor, don't think the Maori story holds up unless they removed one of my ancestors to Saint Helena
