Made the phone call, spoke to Marcus.. saddly he is not into Genealogy and knows zilch of his ancestors.
James DRAGOVICH was his grandfather and that was all he knew. He was an electrician and did a job a week or so ago and was informed by the Munro's (who he was doing some electrical work for) he is possibly related to them ... he just didnt take much notice of the connection.
Some people read books,
some do genealogy,
most people do other things...
Ron...
back to the drawing board

he did try to find it but couldnt. I tried a munro at matamata ...
and i struck it rich, the woman who answered is the wife os one of thomas's children Claude raymond aka Pat Munro. pat has passed away but she has put me onto another lady whom she thinks could be of some help. I did ring 2nd lady but only got answering machine.
so printed out a few charts, a letter and sending to both ladies. they live across the road from each other so will be able to have a chat and hopefully fill me in on Thomas Murray Munro's side of the family ...
Looooooking Goood!!!!
Ron.

Go, go, go Ron, fantastic
Does Marcus have brothers and sisters, and who was his father, is he still alive by any chance - might be worth another ring for it may have set him thinking
