John Murray Family Tree
Except for the foreword by Peter, this family tree was drawn up by Percival
L Murray, Durbanville, on 25.8.1997.
Foreword
This genealogical table of the John Murray family of South Africa was
originally drawn up by Rev Samuel Murray (b2c4d13). He was assisted by Peter
George Murray (b2c4d13e2) and Percival Lovell Murray (b8c5d2e5). The
original family tree, which consisted of only 8 pages and was only 25% of
the size of this one, was completed at Jeffrey's Bay between 1980 and 1987.
As new generations are continually being born, young people marry, old
people pass away and married couples get divorced, a family tree will never
be able to be kept 100% up to date.
Information concerning changes in your family or in those of your siblings,
children and grandchildren will therefore be appreciated. Please send any
information to Peter Murray in the Northern Free State or to Percy Murray in
the Western Cape.
I (Peter) am concentrating on the descendants of JOHN MURRAY who was born
in 1818 and Percy is concentrating on the descendants of HENRY MURPHY MURRAY
(John's younger brother). We are working together on the rest of the
Murrays, that is on ROBERT WILLIAM, SAMUEL, HAMILTON and HERMANUS JOHANNES.
Percy has already gone to much trouble in tracing the other Murrays. He has
made hundreds of phone calls to every Murray in South Africa and deserves a
big thank you for his hard work.
The section of the family tree dealing with the descendants of IZAK and DINA
MURRAY is about 99% complete. We would like to request those noting any
errors or omissions in their portion of the family tree to send any
corrections and additions to us as soon as possible.
Any one possessing details regarding the "lost Murrays" are requested to
forward same to me or Percy. Thank you.

The Family Tree
There are two family trees available, namely a private family tree
(containing all details) and a public family tree. In the public family
tree persons born less than 100 years ago only have their names and place of
birth given. The private family tree may be made available only to bona fide
researchers.
If those whose names appear on the public family tree have an objection,
they should please contact us. Anyone wanting to give permission for all
their details to be included in the public family tree, must also please
contact us. Remember that not all persons listed on the public family tree
have Murray as their surname.
The numbering system used in the family tree, is a modified De Villiers/Pama
system which is generally used in South Africa. It is, however, not really
used outside of South Africa. Later I (the webmaster) would like to make the
family tree available in GEDCOM format.
