McGregor - Thames Coromandel

[jessm63]

Hi,

My name is Bronwyn and my Great, Great, Great Grandmother was also Hohipaea Nga Puhi. We have one image of her with the Moko dressed in European clothing. We would really like to learn more about her and where her and Alexander Mcgregor may be buried. Hohipaea is the link to our Maori heritage in our family history. We have information that she was a Maori Chiefness but are unsure if this is true. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you:)

Hi Bronwyn,
I tried to PM your but it says your inbox is full. I'm also a descendant of Hohipaea and wondering if you would be so kind as to share a copy of the photo you mention with me as I don't believe i've seen it before and would love too.
P.S Kia Ora whanau my lineage;
-Hohipaea and Alex. James McGregor
- James/Hemi Alex. McGregor and Heneti Te Ohaere
- Lena/Rina Kitemate McGregor and John/Jack Savage
- My Nana was Christina Savage who married Ivor Birt

Thanks everyone who has shared on this thread, some great reading!

Hi Jessm63,

Thank you for your reply and not too sure how to use this platform with ease. I have cleared my message so hopefully you can send me your email address as I am also unable to send a message to you. Would be great to connect!
Thanks, Bronwyn

Hi Jessm63 and Bronwyn, and welcome to RootsChat 

Bronwyn might need to make one more post to activate the Personal Message (PM) facility.

Just a post with a smiley will be fine, Bronwyn, then you can exchange information and email addresses.

If either of you have any questions about using the RootsChat forum please post them here and I’ll give you some guidance.

Regards,

Spades

I hope there is a reply for you here, soon.

Kia ora,

I whakapapa back to Hohipaia Ngapuhi and Alexander McGregor as well and would love any photos or information anyone has on Hohipaia.  They were my Great Great Great tūpuna.  I'm new on here and am not sure how to email people directly.

Ngã mihi maioha.

Bronz, you mentioned a photo of Hohipaia with a moko kauae.  Would I please be able to get a copy of this photo pm'd to me?

Thank you.

Hi there,

My whanau have photo's of Mary and John as well as the one posted of Hohi. We believe my father is the 4th generation of John McGregor from this lineage. Would definitely love to piece this all together.

Thanks for sharing,
Kim

Hi Wikz and Kim McGregor, and welcome to RootsChat 

The best way for you both to communicate and exchange information such as photos is to exchange email addresses.

The forum prefers that this is done via the Personal Message (PM) facility. This is to protect members from spam and other abuses.

The PM facility is activated when members reach a post-count of three, so can I invite you both to post twice more to this topic (just an emoji in the text fields will do). Then you can send each other a PM.

For more information about PM's see:
https://www.rootschat.com/help/pms.php

If either of you need any help learning the forum please just ask your questions on this topic and myself or others will help.

Regards,
