My mother has begun to write a history of Rotokauri, just north-west of Hamilton - the lake itself, surrounding district, local identities etc, post- and pre- 'colonisation'. She is most interested to receive information (resources, personal accounts etc), or contact details of people who could contribute memories, stories, notes... etc. She has interviewed some people, and as the weather turns wintery, will be ready to get underway again. Do you have an ex-Rotokauri resident in your tree? Would they like to help? She's not into email yet, but if you have any ideas, people, notes etc you think would be useful, please pass them through me (off list is best I think: [email protected]). Alternatively, contact me for her snail mail address. Jo in Glenfield (4) The NZ Henderson marriage transcripts (with the brides and grooms matched) for 1840-1930 are online.
