Two points.
#1. Are you aware you can search Maori land info on line?
http://www.maorilandonline.govt.nz/gis/owner/interestSearch.htm
You can search by an individual's name(s) or the name of a land block. Did not have immediate luck myself, but not skilled in Maori research, spelling alternatives etc.
#2, Be aware that when checking out Archives NZ Archway results, to note if there is a side bar to the R request numbers, saying "part of a larger file". Spades offered to look up three listed letters I was interested in. I stated in my thank you reply that it stated part of a larger, file but he thought flicking through the 100+ year old paper clipped file, should not have been a problem.
He tells me he was a little taken back, when he was confronted with a file three fingers high. Containing some 150 items of paper and maps / plans.

Hi Lil,
I can do this for you.
I'll wait to hear whether you want me to look for all those files only only the first one before I go in.

Hi Spades
You are a mighty saviour. If you could search the land ones too, that would be great. I was unable to ifnd what I was looking for on the webpage Fresh Fields gave me. Thanks
