 Hi Kay,
Have not received your email address, try mine on djwaddell1@bigpond.com. Have used My Heritage Family tree to list information this should be able to be accessed by you.
Regards Aztec.

Hi Kay,
I'm glad you have got in touch with Whenu, as he and I have been in contact, and discovered our relationship and he has very up to date information on Doug Menzies, the Menzies clan and whereabouts of the remaining family members.
I've done a family tree from information from Whenu and elsewhere- happy to send that to you if you wish and to send on my personal email address?
You may be able to answer the following which has puzzled our family for years- did Grandad Reid- Dougs' father in law every go to the USA and work in and around Detroit that you know of?
Regards Aztec

Thank you all, messages coming in at a great rate. Kiwihalfpint  great to hear of a new relative, Granny Smith passed away many years before I was born, but Grandad Smith was great fun and a big part of my early life.
Thanks Whenu for the info on Peggy

Hullo Whenu,
I am the grandaughter of Robert  Sutherland and Margaret  Coull Reid and I too am starting to find out more about my Father's family so was excited to find your message. My grandparents came to NZ via the USA-Detroit, where grandad and my father had gone to find work- they settled in Gisborne, NZ with their family of three. Violet, George and Peggy, not sure of exact date but  suspect mid-late 1920's-my father was involved in the Napier earthquake in 1931. Violet  married Douglas Grayson Menzies, Peggy(Margaret) and my father George Sutherland better known as Ernie Reid were at working age on arrival in NZ.  My grandparents-Robert and Margaret are buried in Gisborne  and died in 1950 and 1951 respectively.  Their children-George(Ernie) died in 1983 Violet died in 1984 and  nowam unsure of Peggys date of bereavment.
The family came to NZ at the bequest of  Doug who was part Maori and met Violet  in Scotland while recovering from war wounds. My father- George Sutherland married Rhoda Smith in Napier  in 1936 a :)nd they had two daughters-, both daughters have families and live overseas.
Great to get news of my great grandparents- thank you all
