RoadTrip 2003

Over the past couple of years, we have 'discovered' many cousins around the country as we have accumulated information about our ancesters, Walter and Elizabeth Burd, with their young family, left Manchester for a new home in New Zealand in 1873.

Inspired by a recent TV program, Peter and his eldest daughter, Zeborah, are taking to the road to meet some of these cousins.

Beginning on Sunday, 7th September, we will spend two weeks traveling around much of the North Island. We hope that we are able to see you as we journey near your homes.
