    Default help?

    I'm posting this info again and I'm really seeking some help and hoping somebody out there may know something?

    My grandfather Alexander Sutherland was born in 1889 in Westerdale, Caithness.
    HIS father was James Sutherland born in 1860
    and James married Cathrine who was born in 1861

    They also had the following children (Alexanders siblings)

    Harrieta born 1882
    Hugh born 1887
    Donald born 1890
    Cathrine born 1892
    George born 1893
    John born 1895
    Margaret born 1897
    David - 1901

    Pleeeease! Does anyone know anything about this family?
    I know that Alexander, my grandfather emigrated to New Zealand, whether as a child or an adult I dont know. But he was still there in 1901 when they did the census I know that much.

    Alexanders grandparents were:

    James Sutherland 1823 - married Margaret Lowrie/McIntosh

    Then Donald Sutherland born 1786 - married Isabella Budge

    Then Charles Sutherland born 1750 - married Cathrine Gordon

    THere just HAS to be more family inbetween all these - their children, anything?

    Could someone help me find more info?

    Please?
