Seafaring family

My name is Sally. I'm visiting from Australia. My gran & great-grandmother were born in the Wellington district. They're of seafaring blood, so I came here in the hope of finding some information of their past. No luck unfortunately but I can see how they felt at home in this big little city! Embarrassingly this is my first time to New Zealand, despite being well travelled! It certainly won't be my last. Now it's sunny & not windy outside, so time to go a wandering. Happy 2014 everyone.
