Pluis & McKay Genealogy Pages

Hello, thanks for visiting the Pluis, McKay, Rawsthorne, & Higgins, families from the mid-west of New South Wales, Australian Genealogy. The Pluis family has ancestry that goes back to, a soldier on the First Fleet, via the Field family, some Convicts and some Free Settlers from the UK and Ireland, and other parts still being researched. The surname PLUIS is numerous in the Netherlands and DNA ethnicity indicates it has probable Germanic origins. As with many surnames introduced to the UK and later to the Colonies of NSW & Van Dieman's Land, the spelling does change on many documents, mostly due to high levels of illiteracy and pronunciation that was difficult to interpret and understand. Many previous Pluis Genealogies contain some cases of mistaken identity and misinformation that, after extensive research, is being rectified here. So if you see a connection that needs updating or think we are missing one, just drop us an email via our contact us.

The data in this site has been gathered via extensive research and by accessing and comparing data to other Genealogical resources. We gratefully acknowledge all the previous research done by cousins, Colin Field, "From a Distant Field", books and on the Web, and David Rawsthorne, "The Rawsthorne Family Tree", on the Web, and their associated researchers. Due to DNA testing we have proven that the Pluis & McKay families had shared Ancestors about five generation ago. scimus loquimur et quod vidimus testamur et testimonium nostrum non accipitis si terrena dixi vobis et non creditis quomodo si dixero vobis caelestia credetis et nemo ascendit in caelum nisi qui descendit de caelo Filius hominis qui est in caelo et sicut Moses exaltavit serpentem in deserto ita exaltari oportet Filium hominis ut omnis qui credit in ipso non pereat sed habeat vitam aeternam sic enim dilexit Deus mundum ut Filium suum unigenitum daret ut omnis qui credit
