Bev, I'm Impressed! Talk about a well organized National Archives...I like the way the British National Archive site is put together. A quick search turned up documents in a date range in the 1200s. I've bookmarked that and will certainly spend more time there. I called up some family names, and although I didn't see any family members I recognized, I was impressed with the number of my family names that turned up on 'ship lists' for emmigrants. Nice tip. We should ALL consider it your stocking stuffer to us.

Thanks James I've been struggling with UK research for many years now. Our first known immigrant came from Ireland about 1773 where the family lived for about 150 years.... , but he was of an English family living inside the pale. DNA testing determined he was part of a much larger family with a much more common surname.....so I had to find ways to search out pertinent records. Here is another site that I've had some luck with searching British records http://www.british-history.ac.uk/ Do a search with a surname.... happy hunting! and a Merry Christmas to all...... PS.... John Grant Rencher fought on the side of the revolutionaries (not the loyalist) in the PA 5th, after being appointed an ensign in the Chester County Flying Camp.... July 1, 1776 >Bev, >I'm Impressed!

You're welcome! I had one relative come from Balblair who was born in 1679 and emigrated early enough to have children in the Colonies. Another married couple allegedly emigrated from Skye in 1730. And another from "England" was b. 1706 or 1707 and was working in the Colonies by 1733. I'll be using this site as well!
