awesome

yes , I am a komene , my surname comes from up north , marae is Taheke there. My late father ( hemi / james ) moved south as a young fella with my grandparents ( Tom and Ma ) and they eventually ended in Tekuiti as the grandfather was on the railway. Then moved a little more south to Taumarunui where they both settled and saw the rest of their living days out. Dads house is still in Owhango there where i am hoping to do up in the near future !!!!
