Hello HistoryBuffalo,
Welcome to Rootschat..
It is nearly 9 years since the original poster was active on this forum. However they may still receive an email alerting them to your message.
I was one of those involved in the research into the Hasler family but have not kept any notes.
Can I ask where the name of Michael B* has come from? as I cannot find it in the above thread.
*Is this person still living? If so, you will need to delete his name from your post.
Minniehaha.

New Zealand / Re: Papers Past, Gleaners' V Cleaners' Union.
« on: Monday 28 July 25 08:21 BST (UK) »
AI overview:
The Gleaners Union in New Zealand was a charitable organization focused on providing assistance to the poor and destitute, particularly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was part of a broader movement of voluntary welfare organizations that emerged in New Zealand during that period, alongside other benevolent societies and early unions.
Here's a more detailed look at the Gleaners Union and its historical context:
Origins and Purpose:
The Gleaners Union was one of several benevolent societies that arose in New Zealand during the colonial era, driven by a desire to help those in need.
These societies, including the Gleaners Union, were often established by women and men in major urban centers like Auckland, Dunedin, Christchurch, and Wellington.
Their work was particularly important in the late 19th century, when social welfare systems were still developing and private charity played a significant role in supporting vulnerable populations.
Activities and Focus:
The Gleaners Union, like other benevolent societies, provided a range of assistance, including food, clothing, and shelter to individuals and families facing hardship.
They also addressed issues like child neglect and poverty, working to improve the living conditions of those less fortunate.
The union's focus on practical aid and support reflected the broader charitable landscape of the time, which often combined religious motivations with practical efforts to alleviate suffering.
Historical Significance:
The Gleaners Union played a part in the development of New Zealand's social welfare system by highlighting the need for organized charitable efforts.
Their work contributed to the growing awareness of social issues and the importance of providing support for vulnerable populations.
The union's history is intertwined with the broader story of early unions and employee organizations that were also emerging during this period, seeking to improve working conditions and provide support for their members.
