This is an interesting reference from the Poverty Bay Herald 1914 to James Reed (My G, G, Grandfather)
This is in regard to the dispute of the ownership of Raoul Island. Reeds were there first but the Bells laid claim.
I don't know the outcome except that no island, to my knowledge, ended up in our family.
RE: James Reed and his wife Te Kahumahinga. Like many, I too am researching this family. Specifically, I am seeking any known photos or portraits of BOTH of these folk.
