Hi Darren

It would be great if Ross would like to record a story.

hello,
just here wandering if anyone here knows of any other Neho people in
Pipiwai.
i have a Pepeha written for me
Tau Henare te Marae
Pipiwai te
wharekai.

never been there but kind of looking for ancient stories of tipuna,
taniwha etc.

got one of a high ranking maori pregnant women named kareroariki
who craved a human heart to eat, another high ranking girl was killed so that
the hapu lady could eat her heart,her baby ended up being named 3 names
Puhikaiariki, Puhimoanariki and Puhitaniwharau. this is how the iwi ngapuhi got
its name Ngapuhi.... because all the 3 names have puhi in it.

looking for these
as wanting imspiration for a tamoko

Kia ora.
I also hail from Pipiwai. My whanau are up the valley a bit more.
About 4km past Tau Henare Marae.
My whanau live up Te Ororua but I prefer Boot
Hill. Most people who know Pipiwai will no Boot Hill.
My whanau are the
Tohu.
My Great grandfather Haami Tohu married Te Ani Paora. He came from the
Hokianga and she cames from Pipiwai. So, yep I guess this is how we came to be
in beautiful Pipiwai.
I moved here when I was 6 and have lived here on and off
for 22 years.
Pipiwai has had it's up and downs, no matter what anyone says
there's more good than bad here and more importantly here's no place in the
world I'd call home like Pipiwai.
A unique place in itself full of harty and
unique people.

Kia Ora Neho,

I know a whole whanau of Neho.

My Mum's sister married
Freeman Neho and my Mum's 1st cousins are Neho although Mum is a Tipene.

Did
you go to the Neho reunion that happened earlier this year?

I didn't go, not
a neho but they are an awesome whanau.

Much love

kia ora Kelly n Amy, I know the tohu name, and Kelly is my cousin on my
grandmothers side. My grandmother married a Pukauae Neho thats where Uncle
freeman comes in he is a son to Pukauae.

Yes i went to that Neho reunion was
really neat to see and meet that side of the Neho. My Grandfather Pukauae neho
grew up around Awarua and I think that his whanau are originally from Waima,
past Kaikohe.

kia ora Neho who are your whanau might be able to help you
there.

The Neho name originated from William Colenso. Long story but will
tell you one day when we meet.

Kia Ora,

I am looking for Whakapapa.

My Great Great Grandfather is Tame Poa
married Whakaruru but unsure of my great great grandmothers maiden name.

My
great Grandmother is Pora Poa, the name Herewini comes in some where, As over
time Nanny mentioned that name. Nanny married tenga Taaka TeKaute from
Tainui.

If there is anyone that can help me that would be much apreciated.

Kia
Ora

Kia ora Neho I am Marisa George's first cuzn's

Just wanted to add that our
grandfather had 2 families we are off the 2nd union to Ruruhira Herewini.
Ruruhira's family are from Pipiwai...Uncle Freeman comes off the first marriage

Hi Mark Hawley,

I am from Pipiwai, I grow up their with my whanau - My dad is
Charlie Tipene and my mother was Aorangi Hoterene (Shortland) we live at
Hangatiki which is about two kilometres before the Marae. I think that your dad
maybe my uncle Ngohi (Moses) He is my dad's first cousin. He lives in
Christchurch. As I said Maybe. you can contact me by emailing
jeweltipene@hotmail.com
Ngohi's father and my two grandmother's were brother
and sisters.

Kia Ora,
I have been researching family for about a year now and soon after I
started I had a vivid dream, where a man stood at the foot of my bed, waiting to
be introduced. He was in a uniform representing that he had service time.
He
told me his name, Hake Pohe. I asked if he was one of the Hake Pohe's I had
already found info on. He said no, and that I had to find the right one.
I have
come across a few Hake Pohe's but none of them seemed right.
Recently I have
been resaerching My great grand uncle Hamuel Taui Pepene. I came across the
following obituary (ATTACHED BELOW) and immediatly felt this is the person whom
I dreamt of.
I would be interested to know if anyone has whakapapa on him, as I
feel sure that his line crosses back into mine, filling the gap I cannot
see.
