Not 100% sure if I have got this right but feeling brave enough to put it out there. If I have tripped up anywhere let me know :-)

Hi. My name is Anne
My ancestors came from Bohemia, Ireland, Norway, England and Scotland.
My parents were born in New Zealand. And their parents before them.
I grew up in Glorit under the shadow of Mount Auckland (Atuanui) and am drawn to the Puhoi (maternal ancestors) and Hoteo (paternal ancestors) rivers.
I live in Snells Beach.
