Luke King

Luke King

Luke King of the house of King of New Zealand, of clan McDougal, Duncan, Wallace of the houses of Scotland and Ireland to the new lands documented known now as Nz,1790 - wailing, 1800 - 1845 immigrated to these lands outside of the empirical jurisdiction. (Mormon repository of names)
We sailed here in private ships that never returned to England, our ships became houses and stations and estates pre 1835.

King, King-Turner, Mulholland, Moss, Holdaway, Harvey, Edwards, Turner, Fish, Guard, Peters, Hill, Thompson, Wells are a small portion of my direct bloodline. (1400bce, Mormon repository of names)

My whakapapa begins in NZ 1790 and in the wailing crew records inclusive to the Harriot affair and the documentation of the pre 1835 chiefs.

My King-Turner Harvey line intermargied throughout the original inhabitants of the Marlborough sounds from Grevel Harbor on Durval to Blenheim and all in-between. Hippolite, Elkington etc. (1800s to recent 1990s)

My DNA is married in to almost every Rohe and Pepiha of the people who recognize themselves as Manawhenua.

My genetics are in almost all whakapapa bloodlines recognized today due to the relationship and relations of my family before the maori purpose act and other subsequent previous colonial systems.

We are of the people before the crown of Westminster planted flag.

Paramount is the most common position of my place today although I will not respond to that, I claim only my name and by divine right of inheritance of my soul, I am.

Thank you for the time you have given this.
I look forward to receiving conformation to speak.
Kind regards.
Luke.
