Hi all, I don't know if my tree includes Florence Colquhoun as I have never got past the first two Colquhouns I recorded in my files forty years ago. While there is interest in the Colquhoun(spellings vary), does anyone have a Hugh / Humphrey COLQUHOUN? His daughter named Christian born Aldochlay, Luss 1767, married Duncan Macfarlan born Luss 1763. Duncan and Christian were married 20 Dec 1788 at Luss. They were the grandparents of Robert MacFarlan who became Provost of Dumbarton 1898 - 1911. I would love to hear from anyone with information on this family. Regards Cathy on a grey day Christchurch New Zealand

Cathy Hi, I have Colquhouns, many in my growing but not yet verified tree. I certainly have a Humphray and Christian , male and Christina Female . Many of my WILLIAMSONS maarried COLQUHOUNS. Most records list Oldkilpatrick as the Parish . Luss is near and was the family seat of the COLQUHOUNS. My research of the ongoing variety .Will dig out old records and see if anything of interest to you. Dates I have been working on 1500-1784. mainly in Oldklpatrick and Dumbartonshire. I would be very interested in anything you know about the Colquhouns in general and am happy to share what I have.

I was in no way putting down LDS nor FH societies. For those of us who live in rural areas in Canada, a FHS is not always close and I have not managed to get to the LDS centre in Winnipeg. Victoria is a large and capitol city where you have many more amenities than a small prairie town so you are more fortunate than many many seniors who are into genealogy. Even the main Winnipeg library does not offer Ancestory.com and the "two" LDS outlets are often booked with one in Winnpeg and the other in Brandon. Local libraries do not have film or fiche readers which means access to Cdn Archives is limited as well. Do I miss living in a large centre? You betcha, but small town life has some advantages.

They were asked if they wanted to take part, but declined. The worthy LDS will benefit from our project because it is they who lend us the film, and we are required to give them a copy of our transcription as parishes are completed. This is a searchable database rather than an index, and the search engine will be going 'live' soon - it is being 'beta-tested' at the moment. I now have 12 county co-ordinators who have their own teams, and another 12 individuals doing parishes of their choice. It is fascinating work and we welcome anyone else who wishes to join us. The whole project will take a long time to do, as you can imagine. We have a long way to go to catch up with Free BMD in England. That has been a great success - a pity we can't do it for Scotland!

I've used a few of the FHS in Scotland for lookups and also bought a couple of census cd's. For all the countless work involved from the Family History Society volunteers a few pounds was well worth it. (Even with the exchange rate from Canadian and the postage.) I also use the local LDS Family History Centre every week. The cost to order in a microfilm/microfiche is nominal. The Family History Centre also has several computers with access to Ancestry.com and other information that is not online. Available at no cost to patrons. When the information is available for a small donation to a local Family History Society I would much rather pay a few pounds/dollars to support them than pay a commerical enterprise or see someone start up a "Free" project to compete with the FHS. That does seem like needless duplication of effort. For the record I'm not a member of any Scottish FHS or the LDS but I do respect what they do for us. Regards, Win MacKenzie Victoria, BC

Have you ever tried to get material from off-shore FHS such as booklets or information? Purchase price may seem reasonable, but add postage and exchange plus the purchase of the money instrument soon adds up. FHS often do the monuments which does not always cover the burial information sought. As Scotland's People site offers birth, marriage & census data at fairly reasonable costs, one might ask if the FHS isn't doing a duplication? Genealogy has become a big business and certain companies charge high fees to access information gathered by others. As a senior on a limited budget, I welcome access to any free information not to mention those who offer Acts of Random Kindness which allows me to persue my hobbhy (obsession?). Lauraine

Thanks Janet, a timely warning. We've all been caught at various times as most of us are generous by nature. (Yes, it is in the Scottish genes!!) I go cautiously now until I'm sure it's going to be a "sharing" experience, then they can get my all. Fortunately I have found some lovely genealogical cousins. Jean At the time of writing I am awaiting a response from a lady who mailed me this morning from Australia that she has a cousin relationship with my Gt + 3 [paternal] Grandfather and Mother. She had seen a message I left on a Rootsweb group that I was searching names. Its the way I've been doing things. I've been excited about it all day and look forward to hearing from her again with the information she told me she was prepared to share. On the other hand, I have to share with you that a short while ago also someone mailed me to say they would be interested in receiving my data if I was a direct descendant; the interest was in the ROWAT family. As sharing as I am by nature, I sent it, by return, and never got an acknowledgement. I felt this was impolite at the very least. I learned through Genes Reunited that there are now some people putting together bogus family trees. I am sure this is not widespread but I think its worth remembering when our researches take time and money that we should not allow them to fall into the wrong hands. I think its worth waiting and asking for further information as to family ties, when someone offers to share information with you. Any comments welcome, but be assured that I make this post with all those genuine researchers in mind who spend tireless hours and money in their research. I think we need to close ranks and be careful in being like lemmings willing to share our information with just anyone.

You're welcome, Jean, all of you. I wondered since if I was being over cautious, but I have heard from other people that its not uncommon to find. As it happens, I have heard from the lady again this morning. She tells me she is using "brother's keeper", software, which I've not heard of. She is willing, so, maybe I will find more ancestry through her, or not. ;-) Janet ----- Original Message ----- From: "J Y Phillpotts" <[email protected]> > Thanks Janet, a timely warning.
