Sorry, Marlene

No WHITELAW & no COMRIE listed. In my work capacity, I know a Graham Comrie,
however. Would you like contact details? He's here in Johannesburg.

Regards
Maureen

Hi Maureen,
Thanks for your message, looking forward to hearing from you, just one more
if I may, Whitelaw surname also ggrandmother on the other side (married to
Comrie). Would appreciate any info on either surnames and if anyone who is
reading this has any connection please contact me on my e-mail.

Many thanks for what you are doing Maureen, it is a great help.

Kind regards,
Marlene
