hi there , just wondering can anyone help me locate the whereabouts of the mc millan family of zimbabwe. the father, now deceased , was called ian, married to christine and they had 2 sons, one of which died approx.20 years ago. the boys were called ian and bruce and i am not sure which one is deceased. any help would be great , trying to compile family tree but need help for the mc millans. the surviving mc millan boy would now be approx 60 and the father, ian senior, originally came from glasgow in the '40/'50.

Hi gaithers
What an interesting post...........would you perhaps know if the best friend at school, of the Mc Millan boy who now would be about 60, name, also was 'Ian'? 
If so, I may know your Ian Mc Millan's best friend!
Cheers
Danchaslyn

Hello gaithers
Absolutely, yes...........for the past 11 years I've been friends of 'your Ian's', best friend at school's, sister! Her brother, Ian, left Zim and settled in Edinburgh, with his wife, maybe eight or so years ago, and through his sister, I've heard mention of Ian McMillan, frequently. 
The last I heard of him, maybe three years ago, was that he was still in Zim and my friend's brother and he, were still in business together. 
Will phone my friend soonest to try find out where 'your Ian' is now........?
Cheers
Danchaslyn

Hello Gaithers
Just a thought, do the forenames 'Ewan' (or variations of spellings for), or 'Alexander' feature as family names on the Scottish side of your family?
Also, won't be long now and as the search for your family is in the hands of my friends, hoping that you will soon receive very good news.
Fingers crossed

Hello Gaithers
Glad that my friends were able to confirm that the McMillans are well and thriving in ~~~~~~  ~~~~~
Pity that we haven't yet managed to get contacts for you, so perhaps a fellow RC Member, perhaps based in "that country", could contact them for you?
Also, there's the subscription magazine, "Rhodesians Worldwide", which may help with someone contacting your family for you?! 
Cheers

Hello Gaithers
If you google "Rhodesians Worldwide", 'keeping the spirit alive', you will find their contacts.
They are based in Mesa, Arizona, U.S.A.
