PEARLS PAD

Hi! I'm Pearl WILSON of Kerikeri in the Bay of Islands, sadly now deceased.

But we thought it was fitting to place her site out there again.

NEW ZEALAND.

HOME OF THE AMERICA'S CUP

             I am researching my folk who

                migrated to New Zealand.

They came from LANARKSHIRE and

ABERDEEN in SCOTLAND

BRISTOL and Newcastle on Tyne NORTHUMBERLAND.
St.Just, Penwith, in CORNWALL: Brough in WESTMORLAND:
Ware, in HERTFORDSHIRE and from LONDON.

      From here I hope to share my Genealogy and Favorite Sites, detail my
     Family Resources and Help you (and Me) to discover more about those
                                             who have gone before Us!
