About the Website
Kia ora.
Welcome to my website. My Ancestor's Story.com is the result of many years of research and an ever growing fascination with pre-colonial New Zealand. Tracing the story of my English ancestor and his young Maori wife, led me to discover a time in New Zealand's history when it really was the last frontier. This is my attempt to share that time with you. If you enjoy this site, add it to your favourites and come back soon!

Book
Gary Jenning's historic novel is not for the faint hearted,but it is for anyone who loves a good story. This book inspired me to visit beautiful Mexico and Central America for six amazing weeks. A huge read, brilliantly researched.
Greenstone - Pounamu
From the land, greenstone is a beautiful and natural symbol of New Zealand. Kiwis all over the world are instantly recognisable by the beautiful carvings they wear with pride. Its the ultimate gift of New Zealand.
I've enjoyed writing as a copywriter, feature writer, and journalist, and I'm working on becoming a novelist. I grew up in the remote South Catlins where as a child I played along the shoreline among Maori middens and whalebones that still scattered the small rocky bays. Perhaps it was then that my interest in early New Zealand history was awakened, or perhaps its in my blood. Juanita
