Manutuke Chapter - Now Online

Although our connection to Manutuke started with the arrival of the Horouta and Takitumu waka, our real family story in Manutuke is about the genealogical line of strong women who we owe much of our common maori blood. These women seemed untroubled with not only living within the confines of the customs of the day, but were also very capable of making decisions and taking on responsibilities for the long term betterment of their families. The hardships they had to endure in those days has paved the way for the many strong and wonderful women evident in our Carrington and Priestley families today.Any corrections, additional information, pictures or stories relevant to this chapter can be submitted via the contacts in the footer.
