Tena Koe,

I used to go to another cute white church up there and it had a
primary school run by nuns, rode to school from the purple house that burnt down
a while back and most of our "bones" are there.
My mothers parents
were/are Koronirio Kereopa and Sophie Waipouri, their boys were well known,
Rueben, Wiremu, Hamuera, Makarita, Julia and my mother Mary. I think my brother
Stephen and Pania are still up there, Cushla and Warwick were, and Leo and
Damian are Townies.
I live in South Australia and googled Pawarenga and this
wicked site came up.

Great that you found this site and liked it. Keep up the stories.

I still remember from the mid to late sixties there was a teepee by the swinging
bridge, things would get interesting for them when the creek flooded
ocassionally coz they lived over the other side and the bridge would drag in the
water.
I remember Uncle Sam playing rugby at the marae, falling asleep in the
marae listening to all the people talking in Maori late into the night at huis
and mate-s, Aunty Maria and her gumboot, packet of milk arrowroots after church
on Sundays where we went in an old "pu-tara bomb" as we called the old
ford pickup. I don't clearly remember my grandfather, whose other name was Leo
Eddie coz his fathers name was Eru or Eddie Kereopa, very well but he got
electrocuted just after the power got put in up there in 1962-ish, my brother
was born nearly the same day and carries his name
So don't get me started on
stories, theres only good ones thats why I still love the place and one day will

Tena Koutou nga whanau o Pawarenga. Though my name doesn't sound like one from
Pawarenga it is a deep reflection of the Catholic ways that some of my
grandparents came to cherish. Engari, I'm all good with it. I just spent 10
glorious days up there with my whanau (50 all up). My whanau links are Pirini,
Waipouri, Maika, Peri, Poriwhira and Kerehama. Marae DIY was successful at Taiao
(marae on the beach), and I have 2 daughters lying at the church on the hill
(Hato Kaperiere).Place is full of wild horses and sky dishes holding up some of
the whare, so cool to see the kids still riding bare back on the beach,(don't
tell O.S.H lol!), can still enjoy a hikoi 'round the kawhe or up the maunga
Ongaro and Makora Pa site. I believe Hori Proctor still does horse treks up the
golden stairs and the fish are still running. PURE PARADISE. My Ma and Pa are
Pio and Chrissy Jacobs, feel free to email me linq@xtra.co.nz if you are
truly...

kia ora everyone i have alot of fond memories of pawarenga my grandmother and

Robert, his mum Ani Amukete,yep grew up with the stories bout my g'pa working in
the bush with the ho...

Kia Ora, my maiden name is Laura Mash (living in West Aucks) and I googled
Pawarenga and found this website too. My grandfathers name is Charlie Marsh
buried at this church and my grandmother is Teresa Rudolph (now living in
Perth). I don't know much about my whakapapa but am very interested to find out
more and I also have never visited Pawarenga however it is next on my holiday
list as it has been on my mind for a long time. I also recently found out that
my netball coach is a Waipouri from Pawarenga; always exciting to find whanau
links!

Will definately keep tabs on this page :)

Kia Ora, it's been years since I've been back to Pawarenga and fortunately our
family are visiting this weekend. Am really excited about taking our children
to the family marae and seeing who's still living up there. My family are the
Peri whanau. Rita & Ron Peri (grandparents), Glen Peri and Alice Nacey
(parents), Ricki,Summer,Salena, Omega Peri.
Will spread the word though the
family grapevine about this site.

Like my sister above Flo I too googled Pawarenga and came up with this site and
I see a lot of names I know. Haven't been to Pawarenga for at least ten years
but visit my parents and in-laws who live over the hill in Panguru. Yep my dad
is from Panguru and also has bones in Motukaraka. Mum is from Tehuahua,
Kohukohu and hails from the Brown whanau. Her mum was a Waipouri (she was a
sister to Hone Waipouri)unfortunately we never met her but we were fortunate
enough to meet uncle Hone. My grandpa Jack Brown was the only grandparent we
had met as the others passed away well before we were born. How lucky our
children are to have met all four grandparents and I have six granddaughtes who
have also have their grandparents and great grandparents. All I can say is the
Hokianga rocks and growing up as a child there was awesome!! Kia ora koutou
