It’s that time of year again for the most significant event on the WikiTree calendar! I would like to invite you to join us on The Kiwi Crew team. It’s hard to believe this will be our 8th time representing New Zealand on the world stage. Over the past 8 years, our team has sourced over 25,000 profiles (173 sourced by you last year). The Source-a-Thon is scheduled to start on Saturday morning, 5th October 2024, at 1:00 a.m. NZDT. To register, please post a comment on this G2G Post under the KiwiCrew Answer.
Regards, Campbell (KiwiCrew Co-captain)
I came across an orphaned profile, Julian Richard Ralph, Ralph-1292, who is related to me within 24 degrees. However, he is related to you within 14 degrees. I just thought you might be interested in his connections, since he is a New Zealander, and there are only a couple of sources I could find.

Have a wonder-filled and Happy New Year!

I noticed that you mentioned Lyon Ludlow recently. My mother was Mary Agnes Lyon born 1901 in Islington England. Her father was Charles James Lyon, comedian. Her mother was Alexandra Munro, actress. They both took the stage name Ludlow. I therefore wonder if there is a connection. I was born and live in Melbourne 1939. Thank you, ROSALIND MEADMORE [email address removed]
Do you know where I mentioned Lyon Ludlow? I would be able to do some research if you are able to put me in that direction, please. I do recall that there is a degree of confusion around the spelling of Ludlow/Ludlam etc. Nga mihi nui Clare
Our family lines connect when one of your ancestors who stayed in America married a Gist, my maiden name. There are common names, Turner, Barger, etc. I think all these connections occurred in Missouri. Very nice to know you!
I very much enjoy finding relatives in the USA. I haven't been to Oklahoma, just California, New York, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan and State College, Pennsylvania. I met one 9th Pierson cousin in Roseville, California and one 3rd Pierson cousin in Easthampton, Long Island. I communicate through Facebook with one Pierson 3rd cousin in Florida and a couple of older Holley relatives by email! I know that there are others in New Jersey and other states, but don't have any communication with any. Thanks for letting me know. With every best wish, Clare.

We seem to be related through the Meldrums from Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. My grandmother Helen Irene (Nellie) Meldrum (1878-1974) (married Madill) was half-sister of James Meldrum in the connection. Their father was Henry (Montrose?) Meldrum (1822-1901) who was born in Scotland but emigrated to Canada. His two wives were Janet Fotheringham (c. 1818-1857) and Mary Thomson (1837-1917).
I am hoping that all this fits with your research, and with our proposed Wikitree connection. My contributions to Wikitree have been sporadic as I fight with sources and citations, but bit by bit I am getting there.
Thanks for all your contributions and welcome to my family of many cousins of one kind or another!
