December meeting - Family History New Plymouth

Peter Hewett from New Plymouth Branch, New Zealand Society of Genealogists

“I was raised in quite a dysfunctional family. We’ve always felt like there has been a spirit of rejection, I guess, hanging over our family. We’ve always felt this kind of sense of abandonment. To now know this is something that has come down from the generations, it makes sense.”
These are words Rebecca penned in respect of her journey to find family. On Tuesday night we will see her story as seen through the programme
Who Do You Think You Are which was first aired in July 2014. This includes Rebecca’s travels to Parihaka and her rendition of Amazing Grace.
Come along and watch this fantastic story. As well as this, we will be having a special supper and an extra special raffle – a Christmas Hamper, so come along, buy lots of raffle tickets – some one has to win this lovely prize – tickets $1 as usual.
