Tena Koe, I am descendent of Chadwick. William Jnr Chadwick is my Great Grandfather, his daughter is Thelma Chadwick she is my Grandmother. Samuel Laupama is her oldest and he is my pāpā. What iwi do we whakapapa too all I have found is Ngati Mutunga, Ngati Ruanui and Te Atihaunui A Pāpārangi is there more please. I want help with our whakapapa. I have a tribe of tamariki and have moved away from Taranaki and have settled in Turangi with my Tāne and Tamariki who whakapapa to Ngati Tuwharetoa.
