New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Corrie family *COMPLETED*
« on: Friday 23 September 11 04:13 BST (UK)  »
Hi viiga,

my mom knows of Agnes and Alec from their dad's (Robert Corrie's) other wife as my mom's mom (Mita, from second wife) used to refer to them as her sister/brother.  I think my mom mentioned that she still communicates with her cousins in the Gilberts (Milne/Corrie family).  I think what we really need to do here is work up a tree and get dates (years) organized.  Mom was saying she gets confused because of same names being passed down to their children and children's children, i.e., agnes, alex, robert, etc.  I'll try write things down next time and provide info to you.  Have a good day.

farmertom,

Just wondering...is your mother Marygrace "Leenwut"? If so, I am her brother Alexander's grand daughter.
Yes and yokwe to you and your parents. Mom is looking for granny's sisters/brothers and their children.  If you parent's have info on that, we would like to know.  Take care.

thanks farmertom,
It's good to know all this info. Keep me posted how you go but also what was your Robert Corries nationality because mine was scottish? 
I am unable to confirm the nationality issue.  I've heard Scottish, Irish but then a Kiribati history doc indicate British.  I would think that the eldest of the elders of Robert Corrie's descendants have the answer to that question, assuming there was not more than one Robert Corrie sailing around Kiribati.

Hello all...I would like to introduce myself. My name is Nadia and I was just searching my great grandmothers last name and found this site. I believe I have found the right Corrie's. Her fathers name was Robert Corrie and her mothers name was Lydia Milne from the Islands of Kiribati (Gilbert).  I would love to get to know all those who are related and I hope I get some replies soon. Thank you.
Hi Nadia, I have a question to ask if you don't mind. Since your gt.grandmother's father was Robert Corrie and mother Lydia Milne of the Gilbert Isles., identical to my granny's (Mita) parents, my mom asks what's your gt.grandmother's name?  Thanks.

Hi Sala,

Thanks for responding.  Well, my mom seeks information on her grandfather Robert Corrie, father to her mother Mita and sister to the names Dunscore listed; Charlotte, Sarah, etc., which my mom is aware of.  She said she has not met any of her mom's sisters/brothers and their children.  She said her mom told her that one or several of her sisters and/or brothers went to australia for schooling while her mom stayed behind in the Gilberts.  The Robert Corrie that went to the Gilbert Islands and disappeared at sea.  One of my brothers and uncle already met the Corrie family in Fiji.  I need to write down the detailed information my mom is providing me so that I can post those information.

The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands is a U.S. territory in the north pacific.  We live on the island of Rota about 50 miles north of Guam (another U.S. territory).  Thanks again Sala, I appreciate your response.

Greetings everyone,

I'm new here as a result of searching for information my mom seeks about her grandfather Robert Corrie, and I think this may be it.  I posted information on one of Dunscore's post.  My mom is the daughter of Mita Milne Corrie who is the daughter of Robert Corrie.  Mom was really happy and sad hearing of this site and topic about her grandfather and the Corrie family around the world.  We live in the Mariana Islands.  We would like to hear from Dunscore and the information he seeks.  Thanks and take care.

Dunscore,
My name is %$#@!.  I live on the island of ^&*, Mariana Islands.  My mom asked me to look up information on her grandfather Robert Corrie.  My mom is the daughter of Mita Milne Corrie of Kiribati who is the daughter of Robert Corrie; she married a man from the Marshall Islands.  Robert Corrie is my mom's grandfather.  My mom said the Corrie family still in Kiribati, in the Marshalls and in Fiji.  She also mentioned Sydney Australia and an Alexander Corrie.  It's good to hear of the Corrie family.  Perhaps my mom may be able to help with information from the stories her mom told her, in addition to making contact with family members in Kiribati if there is some info you're looking for.  Take care.
