In 1965 the Whakatane and District Historical Society Inc. published Te Tini O Toi by Rongowhakaata Halbert. Included were 29 whakapapa charts.

We’ve added all the information from the charts into their own database which is now available on the website.

You can go to the National Library for more information on Te Tini O Toi and how to find copies.

You can now search for the different whakapapa family tree files on the website.

Anywhere you see a link for List of available whakapapa family trees it will take you there.

If the same person appear’s in two different whakapapa with two different generation dates. It is because the two sources differ and work is needed to find a solution to the problem involved. For example, Hoturoa in the Tainui whakapapa is 1275, but Hoturoa in the Hauraki whakapapa is 1325. This is a common type of problem illustrating the need for more research to be done as we are trying to get the best listings rather than accept differences.
