On the Gelling side my Grandfather was Frank Mansfield Gelling, his father was Mansfield Gelling and his mother was of Irish descent, he had a brother who farmed in the Waikato called William and a sister with Red hair called Maryanne, we also had relations in Parnell or Remuera, my Grandfather went to the University of Auckland where he graduated with either a Law Degree or a Bachelor of Commerce as he was Company Secretary of AB Donald trading, other family names are Geoff, John, Calmer, Alvin, Luna, Eileen.
