We were so lucky to have Valentina's Nana to explain what is a Genealogy and why is it important.
Genealogy can provide a doorway to the past. Genealogy can certainly mean different things to different people. We were learning to trace our family tree, jump into our family history and research our ancestors can be a source of inspiration and support our learning on Turangawaewae -A place to stand.
We have discussed about our family tree. And some of us have discovered that some of our ancestors has done something interesting and unique records sets from around the world. And where they are come from.
Room Seven loved it!! It is a rewarding and challenging process
Oh it warms my heart to see you learning this! I am passionate about knowing my genealogy and spent many hours with my nana (when she was alive) talking about our ancestors. I learned that my first ancestors to New Zealand came out from England on a ship called Zealandia. That was in 1858! That's 161 years ago! Who can trace back how far their whanau has been in NZ?
