In 2009 I started searching for my forefathers (the matriarchs and patriarchs of our family). This has taken me road, air and "by net" starting in New Zealand my birthplace, and Australia, then to Scotland, England, Italy, Sweden, Canada, and the United States of America. Meeting cousins around the World is the greatest joy of all. As the Scots say "flesh of my flesh and bone of my bone!" Surnames of interest are McCargar, Beach, Harriman, Merriman, Hitchcock, Mattson, Hubbert, Slater and Crosby & more.
