As you are probably aware, we are just one branch of many on the whakapapa website.This new whakapapa homepage has information that is specific to our branch. You may like to bookmark it as your new whakapapa homepage. Feel free to visit the other branch homepages as these will give you a better understanding of the whakapapa site makeup as a whole. Why have branches?
To protect the privacy of living people - Registered users that are not blood-related are restricted from each others details, photos, media etc
To filter irrelevant information - Information of living people that are not blood-related is filtered from user viewing.
To minimise cost - Having separate websites for each whanau would come at extra monetary and labour costs.
Convenience - Users that are blood-related to more than one whanau need only login to one location
Notes
Users still have access to all tipuna information regardless of their branch assignment.
Users who are blood realated to 2 or more branches are assigned to these accordingly
If you can't see information of someone you know you are related to, please contact us as your profile or the branch may need to be updated.
