HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Olga Yuretich. Along this, NZ's first road (built in 1830), we will travel from Paihia to Waimate North. Here John Bedggood, a wheelwright brought out from Kent with his family in 1839, made NZ's first wheeled vehicle, and built the first private mill (1851) creating an industry of milling flour for the shipping trade.

'Eliza Bedggood'. This is another rambler from 'Thornfree Wonder', possibly crossed with 'Sparrieshoop'. Described by Ken as lavender pink with a white centre and few if any thorns, it is summer flowering. Its flowers are small, with about 28 blooms per cluster. Today it would be described as semi-double with 15 petals per bloom. He was proud enough of this rose to offer them for sale at the Bedggood family reunion in 1986, where he offered them at $10 per plant with 50% going to the Church Missionary Society or some other charity. I had never seen the rose, but the wonders of the internet put me in touch with the Bedggood family still farming at Te Waitmate. There I was able to photograph the rose, but it was towards the end of the season so I was unable to assess its full glory.
