Can you help?

Georgia Weaver Reporter from Southland Times

Armed with a photo of the 24 men who made their way to the South Island, Fred Olde Olthof is hoping to reconnect with the families of New Zealand’s first Dutch migrants.

Fred Olde Olthof, 92, was 22 when he arrived in Southland, having taken a four-day trek from Auckland to Christchurch, before travelling to Dunedin and on to Invercargill, by train.

Can you help us find the other people in the photograph?
