True. My family came through there, some ended up in NZ (my lot) and some in Rhodesia, a Great-Uncle of mine (John Wallace Downie) was a government minister and High Commissioner there. Anyway, they settled directly from Scotland (borders) there, and if they were anything like the rest of the family that ended up in NZ, you wouldn't even know they were Scottish- I think alot of people were just busy getting on with building a new life in their new country. After 1 generation, they were just Kiwis (or Rhodesians), now of course, we're so far removed, that we're all trying to link back to where THEY came from. Kind of off the topic, sorry, I'm also interested in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe as a country, and the history there, it seems that it was a very prosperous place. (Much like NZ a hundred years ago). The Scots certainly did a good job settling the world!
