Hello, Someone on the GREENLAW List is searching for a family which left Scotland and went to Canada but soon went down to California. While searching for a place-name, "Barnes" in Scotland, just now, I came across this family-tree web site for the DAVIDSON name. It looks like a good web site and information on it might help someone: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~sunnyann/davidson.html Involves family which went from Scotland to the Province of Ontario. ** I can also remind you to check out all the other things which are available at the home page www.rootsweb.com For instance: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~websites/ There are over 14,000 "web pages" here, and you can search by surname -- to see if some other researcher has created a (free) web site about a surname you are researching: http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/directory/genealogy.html Also, you can browse the web sites / pages which have been posted there -- to get an idea of the "possibilities" for yourself. FYI page: http://accounts.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ And, don't forget the WorldConnect Project: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ Even if you find an ancestor mentioned there, and the information isn't exactly correct, you can use the information as a "clue" to do more research on your own. Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) List Administrator FYI: I just searched the "FreePages" for HUTCHINSON and found one page which is "under construction." But, it shows that you can start up a "freepage" for your surnames and have it be a little simpler -- than the above DAVIDSON web site.
