Re: Message from a Group Moderator regarding the first message posted by each group member
Karina McHugh
Hi everybody, its ages since I posted. However I'll try again. I'm looking for information about a Burns House that used to exist in Falkirk back in the early 1800's and the Henderson and Calender families associated with it.

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

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.

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

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.

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
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: First Post and list of names
HI Yvonne, Initally in the Y67marker of two of my three sons and their fathers familytreedna, we had a McMillan amongst the several branches belonging to the McArthur lineage, though no McArthur. However, since I have done a Y111 for the boys father, We appeared to have dropped the McMillan match. My second son has done the BigY700 (for experts, which we are not), that hasnt helped though. That is most likely because we haven't found any matches to McArthur. We have no wayof knowing how far back our McARthur surname goes. Was hoping it would have helped. As I stated previously Locations for our DNA families are Caithness, Sunderland and Lismore from the remaining men of the Y111 marker. I think that takes you back about 5 generations. Because we dont know which of the surnames became McArthur or when, at least we have locations of each f the other branch surnames. regards Edie McArthur

Scottish family names
Scott Thomson
My Great-Grandfather John Thomson was born in 1834 in Arbroath, Angus/Forfar, married an Englishwoman and emigrated to the U.S. in 1855. His mother also was a Thomson, Helen, the daughter of William and Mary (Johnston) Thomson. HIs parents were James and Elizabeth (Strachan) Thomson. Before Arbroath, the Thomsons and Strachans were from Marykirk, Kincardineshire. Other family names on this line are Clark, Coupar/Coupar and possibly Nicol and Richardson.
Those are on my father’s side. On Mom’s side, the Campbells, Gillhams and Kirkpatrick came from Scotland via Northern Ireland.

James Alexander Dallas GRAY 1866-1899
Rosemary
Hi All,
James Alexander Dallas GRAY was my great grandfather and was born in 1866 in Edinburgh. I've always wondered where his middle name of Dallas came from. None of his siblings have this as part of their name and, as I've worked on the family, I haven't found anyone with that name as a surname. He never gave any of his children that name either. There's just this one occurrence. Maybe they just liked it - but I'd really like to find a better explanation :-) Rosemary Northumberland, UK

Re: James Alexander Dallas GRAY 1866-1899
stuart.adam@...
Trying to think out of the box here ... There is a place called Dallas in Moray. It is not unheard of to use a favourite place as an additional middle name. If you have evidence of the parents or other close family living, visiting, or originating from Moray, then this would be a possibility. Regards
