Old Family Ties

My husband's direct ancestor, Captn Cross, was one of the first white men to set foot on Nelson soil in 1840, arriving with Wakefield to find a settlement.  Collecting Maori guides from Golden Bay (Murderer's Bay) they sailed into Nelson Haven around what is now Fifeshire Rock into a calm and safe haven.  The anchor was put up when we had a family reunion to celebrate Nelson's 150th anniversary.
