Hello...

Just wondering if you're NZ-based.

If not, I'm reasonably sure I've got the contact details for one of George and Mary Ann's ggg-son's through Virney's line (Virney b.1882). He may not be interested in his family history but he may know of someone within his extended family who is.

But if you are NZ-based, and known as the family historian, then there's a fairly good chance he'll just re-direct you back to yourself. It has happened before :-)

Happy to PM details if you want. But totally understand if you'd prefer to steer clear of living relatives for the moment.

Regards
Beg
