A Gisborne woman is hoping to get in contact with the descendants of a man who came to the Dannevirke area 150 years ago.
Dorothy McCulloch is keen to trace the descendants of Bror Erik Friberg, who died in Norsweood in 1878, to return a Bible she believes belongs to the family.
She said the Bible was originally found by a lady who had come across it when cleaning out her father's house.
Her father had been a church minister.
"Obviously someone had put the Bible in his keeping," she said.
