Hi all, I've just joined this list after finding some family connections listed in the World Tree site. Unfortunately the information seems to have been taken from the Worldconnect site with the submitter given as unknown, so I'm hoping someone on the list might recognise the details. Joan Ewan WATT, nee DAVIDSON, born 1883 Dundee Scotland, died 3 Feb 1935 Chicago Illinois, married Charles WATT, in Dundee. Came to US in 1925. Children: 1. Elizabeth Lamont WATT, b.1907 Dundee, d. 23 October 1983 Chicago, m. John WOOLLEY (drowned in Ontario Canada). 2. Alexander Young WATT, b.1908 Dundee, d. 1979 Greenville South Carolina, m. Ethel Mary SCHAGEMAN, b.1911 Chicago, d.1986 Honolulu. 3. Mary Young WATT, b.1910, d.1922. 4. Charles Knight WATT, b.1911, d.1912. I'd love to hear from any connections. Regards Jan Queensland Australia

I have no connection to this family. Thank you for the Woolley clue. You can check with your public library to see what databases are available or local Family History Library to look for the 1930 Census and immigration records through ancestry.com to. Perhaps an online telephone directory such as whitepages.com and/or a people search followed by a zabasearch for the nieces and nephews of Elizabeth Woolley could help find a contact. http://stevemorse.org/birthday/privateeye.html Illinois Archives for death records: Illinois Statewide Death Index, Pre–1916 http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/GenealogyMWeb/deathsrch.html Database of Illinois Death Certificates, 1916–1950 http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/GenealogyMWeb/idphdeathsrch.html Death records can be ordered through mollx.com or chicagogenealogy.com Social Security Death Index for more exact dates: http://ssdi.rootsweb.com/ Alexander Watt was b. 07 Jun 1908, d.
