Hi Pythinia, are you able to private message me on this site ? I am new to RootsChat & have not figured it out yet.

Hello Pythinia & Susan, I am researching info on my g grandfather, Samuel Houston born 1 May 1852 in Lurgan, Co Armagh, N. Ireland as noted on a Cert for Engine Driving, issued in 1898 in Tasmania (found on FamilySearch.org) I believe he is the son of Samuel Houston & Mary Turkington. According to a letter he wrote (from his home in Launceston, Tas) that was published in the New Zealand Herald, Vol LIV, Issue 16483,
8 March 1917, pg 8 ... he wrote that he was an old time Auckland resident who now has 5 sons taking part in WW1. He says that his own father had fought in the Maori wars & he himself had served in the old Auckland Naval Brigade under Cpt Le Roy. I would really love to make contact & share info, also to get help with researching his siblings. My g g'father Samuel named one of his sons, William John, after his own brother according to the grandson of WJ. I have many photos I can also share.
