I am a S.Africabn now living in the USA. from my late fathers side I have been told that his fathers name was Henry McGregor, many of his people had farms in the Citrusdal area of the Cape Provence. I know I met a McGregor once that worked for the South African air ways. Do not remember his name but he was red headed, Love to hear from you, " 'S Rioghal Mo Dhream" Royal is my race. PS. By the way my late dad was a minister of the Gospel, so am I. George McGregor. I was impressed to find some good news about some McGregors from South Africa.

Having read this post, I was wondering if anyone has any more information on McGregors who settled in South Africa. My great aunt tried to recollect this information, but came to a bit of a cul-de-sac. Any information would be great! Thank you I am a descendant of William Wallace McGregor.

I am interested in reading his mission memories. Would value some feedback.

He also mentioned they were an outlawed clam but of royal blood. There was mention that this is your line also. Our genealogy is: William Campbell McGregor 1799 Glasgow>1913 Parowan Utah USA married Sara Fish Smith Alexander McGregor 21 Sept 1799 Glasgow >12 Mar 1872 married Elizabeth Campbell 1798>Jan 1851 died Greeneck, R, Scotland Daniel McGregor born 1773 Glasgow married Helen Campbell born 1777 No one has been able to trace the linage any farther.

It was also a postcard which had a photograph of the 1925 Starboard Watch Racing Crew, with their signatures on the back thereof. One of those crew members was my late father, Cadet Michael Arnold Dickson (seated in the front row, on the instructer's left). By the way, was the instructer by any chance, Ernie Goff ? Brought back many memories. My older brother Cadet Frank G. Dickson (1948-1949) was one of the first sons of an ex cadet to join the Bothie. He unfortunately is no longer with us. He went to his maker whilst still in his 60s. Many thanks for your site, Your's truely, Warwick K Dickson.
