This a Genealogy Database for HARRIS in New Zealand but started with my own family tree and the  research I gathered doing it of my own family and other Harris families.

My Harris family came from Broomfield, Essex, England.
 They left Gravesend, London for New Zealand in 1839 arriving Petone, Wellington, New Zealand in  1840.
 Abraham Harris and his wife Sophia were both born in 1810.
 Abraham in Broomfield Son of Edward Harris & Ann Turner
 Sophia Harris - It was once thought she was from Terling in Essex. It is now believed  she is from Battle in Sussex. It is believed that Abraham & Sophia were cousins.

Both Abraham & Sophia Died in New Zealand and rest now in one of New Zealands  historic Church's "Christ-Church" in Taita, Wellington, NZ.. Click on the link  below..

On my mothers side, Reverend Charles Baker came to NZ in 1828 as a Missionary to the  far north area working with Marsden and co.. Charles attended the signing of the  Treaty at Waitangi in 1840.. His family are now scattered all over NZ.. Click on the links  below....
