Wilson family members Diane Potter (left) and Glenys Wilson read a book covering the history of their family in Dunedin. The pair are celebrating 100 years since their grandfather, Harry Wilson with wife Marryanne, arrived in Dunedin this weekend.

About 80 of the family’s members are gathering at the Distinction Hotel to catch up over dinner tonight.
