My middle name Harlan chosen for Pearl Harlan's heritage.


I am glad my mother did not choose the name from her side.  Liffengren. Which is Norwegian.

Names changed all the time in Norway.  Liffengren was the name of the farm, which my GGGrandfather took when he purchased the farm.  Liffengren farm is still there.

Cannibal Gorge, New Zealand

 Cannibal Gorge



Why is it called Cannibal Gorge?


Because of the battle/skirmish between two Maori tribes. A band of Ngai Tahu caught up with some Ngati Tumatakokiri here in the Maruia. The Ngai Tahu were victorious and a cannibal feast ensued. Stories of bleached bones being found here lasted well in to the 1900's. It is well documented from oral histories used in land claims in the Maori Land Court.
