Re: Islay
Anne Farrar
To get only Islay mail go to the main page https://scotland-genealogy.groups.io
and look in the top left corner. There is a selection for “sub-groups”. Click
there and it takes you to a list where you can select “Islay”.
Diane, you say below that you don't have to get emails from both lists if
you don't want, but didn't say how to do that! Many of us want the Islay feed
but not the Scots feed.

Re: Thomas Smith b 1854 in Shetland
Lauraine Syrnick
I also had this information plus a lot more as his brother was my G Grandfather who married Eliz. Albright called Laurence Smith who came to Canada with the Hudson Bay Co. I have most of Eliz. Albright information except still looking for my late 3x Great Grandmoher, a Nicol/Nichol tho have both her marriages. Just missing her parents and it says in the U.S. Census she was born abroad a ship in 1800 Ha ha. She had her family in Quebec but moved with her 2nd husband to U.S.

Thomas seems to be impossible to find - so many Thomas Smith and know he was the youngest child of Laurence & Anderina. For anyone who is trying to find more information on anyone born on Shetland please see: Lauraine (Smith) Syrnick

How to control your messages
Hi folks, the topic keeps coming up from subgroup members (County Angus, Borders and Marches, Islay, Moray and Selkirshire so far) about why they are seeing all these posts they aren't interested in.
Login to https://scotland-genealogy.groups.io/ to set up your mail preferences or to mute topics and the same with your clan group. If you subscribed by mail or by responding to an emailed invitation, you don't have a login unless you created one previously. Here is the Help doc about that:
You can change from getting every message to getting a digest, and/or "mute" or follow topics. Groups.io gives us each quite a bit of power over what we want to see.
We owners and moderators have more power to do things like create and maintain a calendar, files, and other cool features, but it gives us much *less* power over each individual's subscription. We cannot change you from individual messages to Digest, for instance. Nor can we change your email, etc. This is all within your power.
All the best,
Valorie, for the owners and moderators

Re: Falkirk Burns House
Thanks, Karin.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
This means that it must have been demolished to make way for the Forth and Clyde Canal, rather than the Union Canal or any later development. So the canal company must have acquired the property, which means that there will be some record in the Registers of Sasines. These are in the National Records of Scotland, and the Abridgments of Sasines have been partly digitised, so when the system isn't being temperamental (it throws a wobbly from time to time) it shouldn't be too hard to find it. However it would mean a visit to the Historical Search Room in Edinburgh. It might be worth dropping a line to Falkirk Archives, however. https://www.falkirk.gov.uk/services/sport-leisure-culture/heritage/archives.aspx - they are actually in Callander House, which is not far from the Union Canal. Also, this was during the lifetime of Robert Burns (1859-1796) so it cannot have anything to do with him, and references to Ellisland, Dumfries etc are totally irrelevant. Anne

Re: Thomas Smith b 1854 in Shetland

Try the Canadian, USA and Australian census for after 1871. Those were the most common places to emigrate, I think. I would start with the 1881, then the 1891....worth the try. Good luck, Goldie
