Subject: [NZ] Favour being asked re Makarewa, Invercargill
Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2003 18:14:44 +1000


Hi

I have just returned (yesterday) from a brief trip to NZ in search of
ancestors. Unbelievably I received information today (how's that for
timing!) that locates the property where my g g grandparents went to live
when they arrived in NZ in 1863.

Is there anyone who could help me with a map which locates the property for
me? I have tried every online mapsite that I know of but cannot fine one
which names the streets in the Makarewa area where I am interested.

I have an aerial map which shows the property near the intersection of
Wilsons Crossing Rd and Horton Rd (I think - part of the text is obscured).
I can send the map as an attachment to anyone who is willing to assist me;
my problem is that although I now know very particularly where the property
is, I don't know where it is generally in relation to Makarewa, the main
highways, Invercargill etc. I'd like to know how close I came to it last week.

Hopefully
