Got this from a friend she got it off another list thought it may be of interest to someone Kris Doeeyes83@aol.com I put these 130 items together from many sources and used it as a handout for our local Orange County (NY) Genealogical Society. I was asked by many recipients if the CHART could be forwarded to other lists or used in local newsletters. The answer is yes -- please share this information.

In 1861, probably in November or December, two, and possibly three Donaldson brothers arrived at Otago, South Island, New Zealand. The eldest, Robert, born: 1833 at Forgandenny, Perths, Sct, has been well researched by Clifford DONALDSON, Dunedin. His researches, however have provided very little information concerning the other two brothers, John, born: 1836, Forgandenny, Perths, Sct, and George, born 1840, also in Forgandenny. Robert's information indicates that he went first to Waikouaiti and then to Macreas Flat following his marriage to Mary NELSON in June of 1863 where he was a carter and at various times hotel keeper, farmer and other occupations. My particular interest in in the other two brothers. It appears that George stood as best man for Robert at his wedding, and may have been in business with Robert at one time or another. I have seen some indication that he had married, but I have no indication as to whom he was married. He may have had as many as five children. Any information on George would be most welcome. I have no proof that John DONALDSON actually came to New Zealand with his two brothers when they left Australia (probably Victoria or NSW) in 1861. Consequently I am also exploring the possibility that he may have stayed in Australia. Thank you in advance for any assistance. John Donaldson, Lunenburg, NS, CANADA

Looking for my great grandfather James Donaldson married to Artie McDonald around 1880. Their children were William or John, Luther, Minnie and Bessie and a half sister Marie. Artie Donaldson died in childbirth, the children were put in foster homes and James Donaldson left with the oldest son and wasn't heard from again. The family thinks he might have gone to Oklahoma. Any information on Donaldson's in the Johnson County, MO area at that time would be helpful. Jeannine Harber
