*COMPLETED* Where are they?

[aussie_andy]

Morning,

Thanks for the reply. My GGgrandfather was Archibald McNeil who married Mary Andrew, daughter of Capt. Richard Andrew who arrived in NZ on the vessel 'Berrar' in 1873

We must share GGGgrandfather - Alexander (1825-1896)?

Cheers,
Andrew

Hi Andrews,

ALexander (1825-1896) was my great  grand uncle.    I descend from Daniel (1829- 1899) brother of Alexander 

One more post and then we can PM


Cheers

G'day again,
I have you now cousin! 'How do you do!' The McNeil clan must be quite prevalent in NZ? I have many old photos of the McNeil connection, handed down to me from my father from his mother, Mary McNeil.

Ciao

[kiwihalfpint]

Yes, and we even have an ex all black in the clan.      Grew up with him actually not knowing then that we were related

Be great to see some photos.


Cheers

Who was that then? My old man played rep rugby for Auckland and
Barbarians, but not All Blacks.
Pics in the old McNeil album, are packed away somewhere. I will endeavour to find them at Christmas when we return to the East Coast.
 Got to go now ...............
Cheers,
Andrew

Hi Barbara, thanks for adding the link.

My Great Grand Uncles side had a big family, some had 10 -12 children, so this side is extensive, compared to my side

Hopefully we can share what we have or haven't got.


Cheers
