For a long time we were in correspondence with a distant cousin, Henry Andrew (Andy) Nation, of Punawaitai, Waipawa, New Zealand. He was descended from Edward Lister Green, the brother of Val's great great grandfather Frederick Thomas Green. Andy was interested in family history, and sent us a copy of Edward Lister Green's diary and a lot of other family information.
Since Andy died about 10 years ago, we have more or less lost contact with the New Zealand branch of Nation family, though we have continued to be in touch with the Mocine branch in the USA, and through them recently made contact with Andy Blum, who is descended from the Lewis branch, also in the USA.
Ione Evans, descended from one of the other Green brothers, Henry, is now also in New Zealand, and has made contact with another member of the Nation family, Louisa Palairet (born Nation). So we look forward to hearing more news of them.

Hi,
I am Andy Nation's youngest daughter and hold your letters among our family archive. I remember talking about his correspondence with you, which he valued very much.
