New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Hovding 1873 Crew/deserters
« on: Thursday 29 January 09 10:04 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

My Family came over from Grue, Hedmark, Norway on the 1973 voyage of the Hovding. May I suggest checking out Norwayheritage.com and The norsewood Cemetary Project.

Your ancestor could well have jumped ship, that particular voyage was one that would live on in the passengers and crews mind for all the wrong reason, THe Captain was often in dispute with his crew and passengers over food, medicine and treatment. After landing, a committee was formed and formal complaints against the caption were served to both the New zealand and Norwegian governments.

New Zealand Completed Requests / Edward Harnett and Louisa Parker
« on: Thursday 29 January 09 06:20 GMT (UK)  »
Hey guys,

Does anyone know of any information regarding Edward and Louisa (nee Parker) Harnett. They lived in or around the Hokianga Region and had a son Alfred Edward Harnett born sometime around the 1880's.

I know I know, not very helpful in regards to birthdays, marriage etc etc, But thought I'd put it out there incase anybody could be of any help at all  ;D


Thanks in advance

K.

wow these look great, and indeed Uncle Hori did have many stories to tell, he used to visit my grandmother's house often and would sit for hours and tell my aunties and my mother traditional maori myths and stories.
