Dihars Family Tree

These pages give an outline of my family line. It is mainly based around the path from a meeting of cultures - French settler Louis Dihars; and Maori girl Erena Pareraukawa. These roots are strongest in the Bay of Plenty in NZ - Thames, Paeroa, Tauranga etc.

The following is a skeleton of the more recent generations, or click here for a list of all names on this site.. Below that is a brief list of the whakapapa back to the Tainui canoe.
