One thing I like about being on an email list is that you sometimes get to learn things you didn’t know you wanted to know. Case in point, this conversation. I learned the situation regarding the Peterculter OPRs - one of the parishes of my Scottish ancestors - and I got information about John Glennie & Jane Mennie that I didn’t have before. They are not blood relations to me but their granddaughter, Jane Massie (daughter of their daughter, Mary), married my great granduncle, Alexander Michie in 1852. Thank you!

I agree with Venita. It's wonderful getting new information, or some information that will help you continue on. Anne Godfrey Anyone can count the seeds in an apple; but only God can count the apples in a seed. Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy. If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong. > From: [email protected] > Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:13:02 -0700 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [ABERDEEN] John Glennie & Jane Mennie, marriage - Peterculter, Scotland - 1790's? > > One thing I like about being on an email list is that you sometimes get to learn things you didn’t know you wanted to know.
