Re: Change in address for the group
Hi Edie,
Happy to hear that thanks to Bret calling my attention to this problem, we appear to have it solved.
Actual genealogy and family history posts will stay. But we'll delete all the "testing" posts. Feel free to test and also post actual queries, data and questions about Scotland and Scots genealogy and family history. Valorie

Re: Change in address for the group
Hi Valorie, I think I have it right after initial teething problems. I am subscribed under both my email servers now. Bigpond and gmail, the way I was at rootsweb lists. So hopefully I am properly subscribed. I had been receiving and posting messages okay before that, but at the same time being told I wasnt subscribed. That now seems to have stopped. I had clicked on the main @scotland address like you told me to and was getting the error message each time. All is okay now at the moment thanks. I have posted messages but understand you saying those messages wont appear in the archives as this is just a test period, so the messages will have to be entered after 2 march. Do I have that correct please? regards Edie McArthur Tasmania

Re: Change in address for the group
Err, I see that I didn't state that very clearly. The email to address this group is now Scots@Scotland-Genealogy.groups.io. Previously it was Scotland-Genealogy@groups.io which will not work. Briefly it was main@Scotland-Genealogy.groups.io - that will no longer work either.

Hi from Canada
Goldie & Lido Doratti
And Thank you to the good folks who thought this idea up!! Listers
are wonderful folks, I have learned much from them! Names in my Family
Tree are -
INNES, PIRIE, SHEARER, EGO (Cairnie/Gartly/Huntly area). The brick
wall starts with a John Innes m a Thomson 1740 Gartly, had a baby same year, no
sex, no name given and no witnesses related to either parent. He remarried
in 1744 Isobel Pirie from Kennethmont and had 4 sons, George 1745, John 1747,
Alexander 1750, Adam 1751/2. Adam is my proven line. No idea what
happened to the others. I also have a McGREGOR tree, with a James who
married Mgrt Allan from Grange 1766, and no idea who his parents were. I
suspect another James and Elizabeth McQueen from Cairnie. Goldie

Change in address for the group
Hello all, while in the midst of creating the group and subgroups, the address to send messages to the entire group (and not the subgroups, as I understand it - can anyone confirm or deny the truth of that?). main@scotland-genealogy.groups.io seemed not only uninspiring but incorrect. I had no idea that these changes would make it harder for people to find the group -- or to subscribe. Mea culpa. Our web address is now https://scotland-genealogy.groups.io/g/Scots. Group Email Addresses Post: Scots@Scotland-Genealogy.groups.io Subscribe: Scots+subscribe@Scotland-Genealogy.groups.io Unsubscribe: Scots+unsubscribe@Scotland-Genealogy.groups.io Group Owner: Scots+owner@Scotland-Genealogy.groups.io Help: Scots+help@Scotland-Genealogy.groups.io If you are hearing any of your Rootsweb list subscribers complain of being unable to subscribe here, please write and tell me so. I would welcome more co-moderators alongside Bret and I. It's not a difficult job, although filling up the wiki with useful information, fine-tuning the subgroup settings, etc. take some minutes. Speak up and we can grant you the necessary powers. Valorie

New List for Scotland
Joseph Gillard
Hullo This is a great initiative and worthy of the saying that out of adversity, comes success! My interests in Scotland are BLAKIE/BLAIKIE and HALL in Rox, c1800 onwards who came to New Zealand in 1860. Also, DEANS, PURVES and BUCKHAM in Edinburgh and Stirling, c1800 onwards. They were convicted 1845-50 and earned a free passage to Tasmania. Thanks Joseph New Zealand

STEPHENS/PRATT
Judy Last
Trying to find out more about JAMES STEPHENS who married HANNAH PRATT or BRETT on 9 April 1775 at St Cuthberts, Edinburgh. I can't find their births, although I do know that Hannah's father was named Thomas!
James and Hannah were my 4 x Gt.Grandparents, and their daughter EMELIA STEPHENS was my 3 x Gt.Grandmother. I have been unable to find a birth/baptism for her (born about 1779) or her sister Eleanor (born about 1781). A son was born on 21 Feb 1776
in Edinburgh and named DAVINELL ??? (could this have been Daniel mistranscribed)? Nothing more is known or has been found of Davinell.
James and Hannah with Emelia and Eleanor, did move to Birmingham, England possibly before 1795 and died there.
Any help finding them in Scotland would be fantastic!

Re: Roll Call
Edie McArthur
Hi Greg, Do you have a dna match with a Bonnie and a Shirley ona ancestry or do you have rellies of that name. My former husband has both those ladies and Shirley has a 2cm match with him. i hav written to her just now to see where she machess. as she does also match with about four other shared matches. I think they may be Scottish matches. Definitely one of the shared matches is a descendant of Rob and two of our sons great grandfathers daughter who was conceived in Scotland and she married a fellow William Walker also from Airlie in Scotland. It is our McArthur line I am most interested in. So far no McArthur DNA but several names of different branches of the same lineage as McArthurs I think McArthur is an inherited name. Locations Caithness, Sunderland, Lismore. Our John McArthur was in Cathcart, Renfrewshire, working at the time of his marrige in Cambuslang, Lanarkshire 2 December 1856. Banns were read in CAthcart. Trying also to find out which large farms there were in Cathcart at that time..OUr Scottish lines are. McARTHUR, STEVENSON, ORMISTON. BALFOUR, , , STEVENSON Married into the SPEIRS. Isabella had an illegitimate daughter before her marriage to John McARTHURm Christina Stevenson CAMPBELL, daughter of William CAMPBELL a farmer at Cambuslang. , she married a Robert BLACK at Campsie, Stirlingshire. DOUGAL, LAING, ROBERTSON, BENNIE and WALKER of Stirlingshire, Sct..etc. regards Edie McArthur Tasmania
