Mckenzie Siblings Document

This is a special request to my first cousins on my Father's side.

As many of you are aware, I am busy compiling a document on the lives of my father and his siblings (Mckenzie Family of Dundee SA). On various occasions, I have requested information and photographs for this project. Some folk have obliged and sent information to me. However, this is still not sufficient to make such a ducoment a success. Photographs are also needed. These can either be scanned and emailed to me in .jpeg format to
stellasmuts@gmail.com
or posted to me at
Mrs S. L. Smuts
P.O. Box 163
Cape Gate
7562
SOUTH AFRICA

To make a success of this project, I need your memoirs and titbits of information, so look forward to your immedate replies and assistance.

Thanks to those who have sent information and in anticipation to those who are still going to.

Happy 2013
Stella!

If you are reading this, you are either related to me, interested in family tree research or connected to Dundee, South Africa in some way. Welcome.

After the death of my parents, in 2003, I developed a desire to find out more about my ancestors. Who were they, what they did and why I think the way I do! So began a journey ifrom the past, which has indeed answered many questions about the present! I am only sorry that I did not pay more attention as a youngster when my aunties and parents spoke about family history. Today there are so still many questions which will probably remain unanswered.

So far, I have gathered data on the Buchanan, Brickhill, Hedgcock, and Egenes family way back into the 1700’s.
The history of my paternal grandfather (Mckenzie) and maternal grandfather (Woods) is proving to be difficult to trace.
I am capturing all the data onto a computer program known as My Heritage, which can be downloaded from the internet. The data file is in GEDCOM format. Anyone wishing to obtain a
copy of my information is welcome to contact me. This research has already taken many years of work and will continue into the future. Although I do not sell my work, any donations towards this research, will be greatly appreciated. Obtaining birth and death certificates, as well as the assitance of full-time researchers does cost money!

Contributions of information, documents, press articles, photographs etc, are always welcome. For example, my brother
Colin sent me a box of memorabilia that he had collected. What a wonderful collection of documents, letters and photographs. The challenge is to match the photographs to the people's names, so please remember to include any information you have..
