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

Welcome to Rootschat.     We are related as well, your grandmother (Phimister) was my mother's aunt.   I would suggest you remove names of the daughters, as it is a policy of Rootschat not to have names of living on the board.    Just go to your post, click on the modify button, remove the names and click on save.    You just need two more posts, then we can exchange details through the PM system.  Now I can fill in some gaps, for the NZ ones that I can't complete.

Whenu is out of town at the moment, but will respond when he returns.

Cheers
KHP

EDITED  You have been in my tree for ages.

Hi Aztec, Peggy died in 1996, my Dad is still alive but doesn't anything of what happened to George.
They were all in Detroit in the 1921 census, Robert and George working in the Ford? factory, not sure when they all got to Gisborne. Am in contact with Vi's grand-son in Ak.
