I have just started to work on the genealogy of my brother-in-law, WILLIAM JAMES BERTIE Jr., a California resident all his life. His father, WILLIAM JAMES BERTIE was born about 1873 in Wellington, New Zealand of an English father and a Scotish mother. He immigrated to USA in 1898. His wife was Annie Hagopian, born in Armenia. Do you have anything on Berties in New Zealand? There is a political town or county named Bertie in that country.
