Hi I am Debra Hansen, born in Napier, New Zealand 8/4/70.  My dad is James Albert Gordon Hansen, i think born 2 November 1942. His dad was Martin Hansen married to Dorothy Hansen from OngaOnga/Dannevirke/Eketahuna area. Martin's parents aparently owned Straybrooke Farm in OngaOnga back in the day and are direct descendants from the First family and Capt Thomas Hansen.
