Ok, I wish to stay in touch so here is my first post. A great big thank you to you folks who do what you do for all of us. (kudos Bret and Valerie) I felt so at home during my first trip to Scotland with my predominantly Scottish grandson, the MacMichael. I had great success with his ancestry thanks to many of you, particularly Malcolm Lockerbie. And Bruce McDowall -is that correct? I shall see her again in May when I cruise around the British Isles. I have more Scots, Irish, British ancestry than German and One day I hope to know about my Scots-Irish Wilsons. I have not heretofore felt I knew enough to query about them, but maybe soon. Sue fulk dietz Earliest known Scot ancestor is Henry Wilson ?-1805 whose father may have been David/Davis Wilson 1685-? Antrim, Ulster, Ireland and his father David/Davis Wilson 1650-? Inverness, Scotland. Will be wonderful to know for certain.

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.

· I'm not too sure how to post so thought I would try by replying to Bret's post - advice would be appreciated. My interests are as follows:
WAUGH – in Castleton, Newcastleton, Stapleton
·
BALLENTINE – Castleton, Newcastleton
·
FORRESTER - Stapleton
·
BROWN – Rockcliffe
·
JOHNSTONE – Rockcliffe, Blackford, Stapleton

...and more. The above list is completed in haste I will update
in the near future, having visited Castleton, Newcastleton, Langholm,
Rockcliffe etc last summer will be concentrating on the Waugh and Ballentine
and border families this year. We have
only been able to get back to a Thomas WAUGH and Christon Ballentine in
Castleton/Newcastleton late 1700’s . We
went to the local Museum in Newcastleton and a very knowledgeable curator, Anne, could tell
us where they lived when their children were born from the places on the baptism
page. Tales of Bothies and how big they
were to how Castleton moved to Newcastleton, a lovely place.

Hi Bret and everyone,
Just for starters, here are some of my Scottish surnames with more-or-less specific locales: Gardner/Wilson- Glasgow, late 1700s- mid-1800s (I believe they came from elsewhere to work in the textile factories, but that's just speculation). Colden- Borders region, mid-to-late 1600s to mid-1700s- at least 2 generations were ministers and lived in several different towns including Duns, Oxnam, Bunkle, Whitsome Christie- Kelso- late 1600s to early 1700s Rhind- Aberdeenshire and Banchory-Devenick- mid-1700s to early 1800s Ross- Aberdeen/Aberdeenshire- 1700s+ Juliann "42 is the answer to life, the universe, and everything."- Douglas Adams
