Reihana Kiriwi

This branch is based around the ancestors and descendants of Reihana Kiriwi aka Morenui (Abt 1816 - 1876), of Muriwhenua rohe, and his 5 wives. These marriges produced 15 children.

This whakapapa website is a place where you can learn from the knowledge of other whanau, and more importantly, it is a place where you can share your knowledge with them within the confines of a closed whanau forum.

Inside you will find Kiriwi whanau whakapapa, charts, photos and much more. As with all whakapapa, it is incomplete and is very much a work in progress. If you whakapapa to Reihana Kiriwi, then this is your whakapapa.

Thelma

As far as anyone can ascertain, there has never been an attempt to compile a comprehensive Eriha Kiriwi whakapapa. Much of the whakapapa put together to date is through the lifetime research of my mother, Thelma Olive Priestley (1936 - 2000).

Thelma spent much of her life researching several of our family branches. This was before the advent of computers and the internet and therefore it meant countless hours of visiting whanau, phone calls, attending hui, searching libraries and museums.

Her determination and passion for this work was driven by her single-minded aroha for her whanau. Her devotion to her parents Percy Greaves and Dolly Greaves was unsurpassed. Her dedication to her siblings and cousins was without compromise. Her kindness and generosity to everyone she met was renowned.

After her passing I came across her work and had to make a decision. Did I throw it out? or should I leave it for someone else to throw out?? I decided to dig a little deeper where I found subtle hints that made me realise that what she was looking for was a vehicle to share her work and someone to drive our whanau legacy. With the advent of the computer and the internet, that vehicle has arrived.

It is therefore her lifetime of work and research that is the foundation of this Kiriwi whakapapa. Her memory is the inspiration to drive it forward. I hope that it becomes everything she hoped it could be... a fitting tribute to our Kiriwi whanau whanui.
