Hello list, I'm a new researcher and need to know if there is someone with access to the Whitsome OPR who could look up information on my g-grandfather, James Millar (er), of Duns? He was born about 1819 and died May,1855, although I have been unable to document this. His occupation was a teacher in Duns, and he married Mary Galbraith 9/11/1846 in Duns. The marriage record of James & Mary in the IGI is the only record I feel comfortable with. I do not know the names of James' parents so this presents a a bit of a problem. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Elizabeth Millar Molavi Wilmington, NC USA emolavi@ec.rr.com I was recently informed that it appears he was born in Whitsome and I would need to access the Whitsome OPR. My grandfather was John Millar, c 22/1/1853 in Duns

Good afternoon everyone, this is a popular family - I'm fairly sure I posted data about this couple last week - on thei son John, possibly! > I'm a new researcher and need to know if there > is someone with access to the Whitsome OPR who could look up information > on my g-grandfather, James Millar (er), of Duns?

I've only got the crude data here at work. I know there's siblings, and I know there's more data on the Sparks, but if you want it, it'll be much easier to get the data from the organised database on the machine at home. This information comes from the Scots Origins Index to the OPR. It would probably be worth asking your local LDS to get the OPR film and check the full entries - there might be additional information. lesley Robertson ******************************************************************** Dr Lesley A.
