Family historian Alan Duthie, of Clydevale, is seeking extended family members to join a Duthie reunion in South Otago during Easter weekend 2020. Clydevale resident Alan Duthie hopes to winkle out some of the more distant branches of his extended family for a reunion of relatives at Easter next year. "The idea for a family reunion sprang up in 2014, which would have been the 200th anniversary of Alec's birth in Kirriemuir, Scotland. Surveying assistant, farmer and entrepreneur Alec Duthie arrived in New Zealand from Kirriemuir, Scotland, in 1841, before establishing the family in South Otago in 1852.
