100 days

I've signed up to the hundred days project as a vehicle to push me along with the granny hunt.

I hope to flesh out the dead bones of the family, by looking at 100 different people from the tree.

My question is whether this project might help me to make sense of our family, mainly as groups of NZ settlers, but also finding some narrative threads for me to worry at...

My first subject is most likely going to be Margaret Forbes (nee Cooper) who also features in the DNZB and on the Te Ara website as an innkeeper and land protester.

She and her husband, Robert, ran the New Leith Inn, in Onehunga, during the 1840s.
