Kia ora, my name is Zoe Pullman, and I firmly believe that your family history and whakapapa (genealogy) are taonga tuku iho – treasures from your ancestors that deserve to be nurtured, protected and passed on to those who come after you.

I was thinking about how great it is that my Pouhere Taonga Heritage New Zealand membership gets me into a bunch of National Trust for Scotland sites including this castle with this giant deck chair. What was less great, was getting stuck in said chair 🤣

Do you have a favourite multi-generation photograph in your family archives? This is one of mine, taken in 1905, Southland New Zealand.

The tiny village of Douglas, Lanarkshire was the birthplace of my 3rd great-grandmother Janet Clarkson - it was such a sweet wee place to visit. Popped into the kirkyard of St Brides Parish Church for a nosey and rapidly found 3x Clarkson headstones! Now to figure out who they were. Also highly recommend the Black Douglas pies from Douglas Deli! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥧😋

Have you got an ancestor who married at Gretna Green? I would love to hear the story!

Ohhh the temptation to call into St Andrews for a look is strong, I'm just around the corner!  Hope it gets figured out.

There is a single photo of a young Māori man in the archives at Scotland's oldest university - but who was he?

Finding old photographs that bring family stories to life is one of my favourite elements of The Family Archives. So far I have 7/8 on my maternal side (shown here), and 5/8 on my paternal side. Most of these are originals that I am currently looking after, others have been found online. And one in the police museum! history
