Hi Sheila, Noticed your recent post about missing OPRs. I havn't got into the 1700s, and I havn't tried a single name study on this family yet, but I do have William Beattie and others from Canonbie born in the early 1800s and I was just wondering if we are linked ? Are your Beatties from Canonbie ? Regards, Jim Graham
