Dear Psul
What an unusual name. Thank you for your e-mail, yes to most of it
I am in communication with a John Bertie in Wellington, New Zealan
and my sister also lives in New Zealan. I think that you
may be connected to John, who says that his relative came from
America and were Sailors. His great grandfather was captain of
a tea clipper and had a story to tell.
I think that we have a connection and I am still working on it
I will need time to relate to this.
My e-mail address is:
rad31@worces.u-net.com and if you allow me to
have yours we can keep in direct contact.
Thank you for your response and I hope that this
is successful.
I have the family tree back to 1700 in Scotland
but there is an English noble line that goes back to
945 AD.
There is a large branch of the family in America
based mainly in New Jersery but have branched out
(forgive the pun) to furthe fields.
There is also a Bertie County in North Carolina.
This was named after two brother Henry and James.
Hopefully I will be in contact with you soon
All the best
Evelyn Bertie (now Radford)
