Andreassend Family
- Ronald Andreassend
- Every family has their stories, aspirations, connections, celebrations and milestones. As well as the shadows that are sometimes cast over a generation. Some are from immigration, circumstance, war, culture, mistakes, ignorance and seemingly fate. Ours is no exception. In a time when NZ society aspired to be a better version of Britain, little compassion was shown to those who were outside the norms of society. Being poor, working class, foreign and in the case of the Chinese undesired. Sadly even the founding fathers of NZ introduced legislation directed towards Chinese. In the year my Dad was born (Jim Andreassend) 1926, family welfare was withdrawn for the Chinese. It was this environment and society that Hannah and Albert raised their children, including their seven Chinese grandchildren. On the 3rd of January 2010 it will be 110 years since the marriage of Albert Marelius Andreassen and Hannah Bertha Clark and the beginning of our Family in Timaru, New Zealand.
