Just a quick reply
You will be amazed at the information you get back from rootschat
They are amazing people always ready to help
At the moment I have found great contacts to my Minnie McKenzie( Mina in the story) family who emigrated to New Zealand in 1862 with her brother James and cousin John Polson
If you are interested google old Helmsies and read about John Polson
my Flora is his mother
happy hunting
