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.

Regards,

Karina

New List for Scotland

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

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.

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

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?

Re: First Post and list of names

Edie Mc
 

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.

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.

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 :-)

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.
