hi Sala,

Talofa from Tuvalu, that's correct, the Alexandra Corrie that I'm talking about is the one in Fiji. My father said that he came to Tuvalu and then married a native lady from Nukufetau and they have two daughters in which the other one is my grandmother.

What my father told me that Alexandra went back to Fiji and married another lady and never came back to Tuvalu. There is one lady that i use to contact to and she said that she is married to the Corrie family too.

Thanks for replying but awaiting your reply too.

regards to you and your family,

Farmertom, thanks for the email, regarding Alec Corrie's sisters. He said that the only thing he knows tha he has one sister named Agnes but he don't know the others, but he also mentioned that Alec's married twice and he also knew that Robert has two wives.

Thanks and hope to communicate more on this matter.

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.

wow this is exciting and interesting all at the same time viiga. If you have time to chat we can go the chat room?

Talofa Sala, sorry for the late reply but I would also like to chat with you, and as for Agnes, my father said that she stayed in Gilbert.

I also have a son and he is 20 years old now and he is also named after Alec as my father wants to keep on the family name but we used to call him Aleke as in Tuvaluan.

Thanks again and i would like the three of us to go to the chat room to discuss more on this family, if you are ready. We can also start any time.

regards,

viiga

Talofa Sala, one more thing that i forgot to tell you, is that last year my elder sister went to Fiji with some of our relatives and she said that she met Anita in Fiji, she said that Anita has some children in Australia, she also met some other people from the Corrie family and she also brought some photos of them. Looking at the photos, those ladies are just the same as my aunties and one photo of a man but i forgot the names.

The photos are wtih my dad at Nukufetau, i hope that the Anita mentioned in previous mails is the same person that my sister met in Fiji. i also have a copy of the Fiji time with the pictures of the Corrie families reunion in Fiji.

hope that this helps a little, and regards to you and your family.

hi viiga, it is all getting more interesting by the minute and yes i too have the same corrie reunion photo the one your talking about. However you will have to let me know the time difference between here in Australia and Tuvalu so we can chat at the right times then. If that is okay with you. Talk soon!

[viiga]

Talofa Sala, i think the time difference between Australia and Tuvalu is 3 hours. As for us here, it's 0850 and i think it will be 12.00 noon over there. Well, I am also looking forward to chat with you and to get more information's from each other.

Regards to your family,
