- Kia Ora.
- Your name is Chris Metcalfe.
- Of
Ōpōtiki descent
from the hapu of Whanau-a-Muriwai.
- Ko Muriwai te Tipuna (ancestor)
- Ko Opape te Marae (meeting house)
- Ko
Ngai Tamahaua te Hapu (family group)
- Ko Te Whakatohea Te iwi (tribe)
- Ko Mataatua te waka (canoe)

- Somehow, an irreplaceable photograph of your Great, Great,
Grandmother,
- Nga-hiraka, 'a beautiful Maori Princess with a moko,' was lost.
- It seemed sad that the family would never know who she was, or
what she looked like.
- I made inquiries amongst your more elderly aunts and an epic
journey began!
- This is your heritage and one the whole family (and historians)
can share.
- My job was simply to join the threads of oral history and other
material together, as accurately as possible.
- The loss of Ngahiraka's photo was a blessing after all!

St James Presbyterian Church, 
Pollen St. Thames. New Zealand.
- To raise revenue for the needs of the young
Church, a "Pew Rent" was charged.
- This is a complete
transcription of a hand written account book we transcribed while on holiday in
Thames -
- a mammoth task but one which has made available information otherwise
not accessible to most people.
- It can give clues as to the financial status of a
person,
- sometimes the number of persons and the Pew number rented are included,
- and the years that the person was residing in the area. Possibly even a clue to
a person's time of death.
