Ho Ho Ho !!
Seasons Greetings.
Getting late again, and I'm making mistakes. 62 photo's from the two files in the Auckland Archives branch have been forwarded.
Possibly third time I will get it right. The three page declaration by Nicholas SIEMENOFF re Toamia HOPA; and Federick HOLDER, the leasee, and then purchaser of the block of land in question; is, in my opinion, a genealogists gem.
Nine parties are mentioned with a brief current time (18/10/1917) bio on each.
Enjoy.
