  Histories » Slide Show		Article about George Moffat probably written by Peter Moffat. Transcribed from photocopy of article obtained from Peter Moffat
  		Article about Robert Houliston and Christina Cameron from Stan Dunn's "Please meet.... Robert Houliston and Christina Cameron" The first 7 pages from the booklet made available by Stan Dunn that lists the descendants of Robert Houliston and Christina Cameron. Photocopy obtained by Roger Moffat in August 2004
  		Article describing the wedding of George Moffat and Ann Susan Fahey Article probably transcribed by Peter Moffat, but it doesn't contain a reference for where it came from. A newspaper most likely, but it's not known for sure.
  		Article from "The Clutha Leader" 21 January 1908 Article from a transcription of a newspaper article. Copy obtained from Peter Moffat, so presumably he did the transcription.
  		Article from "The Clutha Leader" about a family Reunion held at "Ellenslea" The article was published in "The Clutha Leader" on 7th February 1911, describing a Family Reunion held at Ellenslea attended by most of the then living descendants of William Moffat and Ellen Houliston.
  		Article from "The Clutha Leader" describing the Jubilee Concert held at the Oddfellows' Hall This from a single column of newspaper which is headed "AY 28, 1929". One would think it's May 28 1929, but a companion article on a page labelled August 26 1929 refers to the Concert being "this evening", so it seems likely this was published August 28 1929, but the presence of "AY 28 1929" at the top of the column makes little sense.
  		Article from "The Clutha Leader" of Monday August 26 1929 describing the Diamond Jubliee of Te Houka School This article reports on the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations for the Te Houka School celebrating 60 years from 1869 to 1929. Includes mention of a number of Moffats and Houlistons in various capacities at the school or on the school committee during the 60 years.
  		Article from "The Cyclopedia of Otago & Southland" published 1999. This article was written by Peter Moffat for inclusion in the The Cyclopedia of Otago & Southland. Publication details are: Sorrell, Paul, ed., The Cyclopedia of Otago & Southland, "Te Houka", (Dunedin City Council:Dunedin, New Zealand, 1999) pp. 706-707.
  		Family Folklore - compiled by Peter Moffat A compilation of some anecdotes about some members of the Moffat family, compiled by Peter Moffat.
  		Obituary from "The Clutha Leader" for Ellen Houliston This obituary is transcribed from "The Clutha Leader" of sometime in May (after the 15th obviously) - possibly by Peter Moffat.
