I am so sorry to hear about Ruth. I have only just stumbled across the notice.

My parents (Maureen and Grayson Finlayson) from NZ held long and lengthy correspondences with her as they were all deeply involved in their shared family origins. We come from Roderick Finlayson, youngest son of Alexander 'Soldier' Finlayson of Middle River, Cape Breton, and Ruth came from John Mhor Finlayson - his 3rd son. My parents have now passed on and the mantle for continuing their research has fallen on my shoulders as their oldest child. I would be very keen to continue this discussion with somebody in your family who is keen if possible please. Can you pass this on and get them to email me please?

Again, please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss and my parents would also do so if they were able to. I know they shared photographs between them however Ruth never knew of them when she took her trip to our country. John Finlayson Wick from Wisconsin asked her to come with him to our big Finlayson Reunion held at Auckland in March 2000 but she declined due to the long miles involved. Pity as it would have been really nice to have met her then.

in New Zealand

Hello there from New Zealand. 

Ruth had corresponded with my mother, Maureen Finlayson of Orewa for some years as both were deeply interested on the origins of our family histories who travelled from Scotland to Cape Breton and then NZ. I still have the letters she wrote to my mother who passed away 18 months ago so I was deeply saddened to hear of Ruth's passing yesterday. In fact I had been trying to locate her address in the hope that I could continue that work but to no avail until I received this message. I realise this is not the appropriate forum and I apologise for that but if somebody in the family who is interested would like to reply to my email (john_finlayson@hotmail.com) then I would be most grateful as I am continuing both my mother's and Ruth's work into our family's history and past. 

Again, please accept my sincere and deep condolences on the loss of Ruth from the Finlayson family in New Zealand.
