Publisher needed for Biographies
A manuscript tracing the life and times of early Maori people has been written but needs a publisher in order for it to see the light of day. Written by George Hori Kiwi Howe, the manuscript traces the lives of thousands of ancestors from the 1800 s up to 1960. It has chapters devoted to: Members of the House of Representatives; Royal Honours; Government Service; Maori Kings; Leaders of the Past; Women of Note; 28th Maori Battalion; Scholars; Music and Drama and Sport. The author was born in 1917 in the Waikato, the son of Edwin Moanaroa Howe and Stella Vinson. He compiled the records and following his death in 1962, his wife placed the manuscript with the supervisors of the Polynesian Department, Genealogical Society of Salt Lake City Utah, for safe-keeping. George Howe and his wife were great genealogists, starting the first genealogy classes in the Mormon Church in New Zealand.
