THOMAS, Thomas Andrew (Tom) interviewed by Morag Forrester
Record Group — Box: 51

The Roberts family connections with Te Anau span almost one hundred years as it was Tom's grandfather, Captain Thomas Roberts, who first laid roots in what was a remote settlement in 1906. As skipper for the government steamer, Tawera, there is already printed documentation about Captain Roberts and his years spent in Te Anau.

Record Group — Box: 53
