Road Trip

From the time Mum received the death certificate, she searched for the elusive Miriam Potiki. I remember her telling me that my four times Great grandmother was a Maori maiden (her words) who was buried somewhere in Onehunga, Auckland. That led to a few trips up to 'the Big Smoke', a long journey from Tauranga in those days, trudging around cemeteries, trying to find Miriam's grave. Talk about a needle in a haystack!
