Hi Isobel & Duncan, First of all, where is Glen Prosen? I looked for it, and all the spelling variations I could think of -- no luck. I believe that my Glenday's came either from Forfar, Angus (Peter Glenday wrote a letter to his father there in 1817 -- the first one home from America) or from New Rattray or Blairgowrie (that's where he settled when he came back 6 years later after the death of his wife, Anne Lindsay). Others with Glenday ancestors seem to show Forfar, at least. May I invite you to join the GLENDAY mail list? It has really been slow getting started. You guy have to WRITE to it! But I hope it gets going eventually. Among the plethora of things I have, I have a lot of letters written by Ann Glenday [Durfee] in St. Louis, MO, USA to her sister Hellen Glenday [Butchart] in Blairgowrie over a period of many years. If only I were independently wealthy and could type into two computers at once! Regards, Susan D. Chambless listowner for the CHAMBLESS, GAUSS and GLENDAY surname lists, now at RootsWeb - http://www.rootsweb.com/ - please join us!", Check it out: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~schmblss I'm posting a lot of old family letters & papers centered around the Charles Henry Gauss family of St. Charles, MO. Surnames are: Gauss, Johns, Fawcett, Glenday, Durfee, Lindsay, plus, of course, the people they knew. -----Original Message----- From: D.N.

My great grandfather was Robert Glenday, born in Scotland in 1870, who emmigrated to South Africa sometime in the late 1800s. He had 9 children, so there's a fair-sized Glenday family in South Africa. Many of them (us) are now moving to other parts of the world. Eg. a cousin and I have moved to the USA, my sister is in Australia. I've just started attempting to track my family's genealogy, and can't yet trace anyone further back than Robert Glenday. So I would greatly appreciate any information you have. Of course, I'll be glad to share any of my family tree information that may be of interest to you. I'm sending a copy of this E-Mail to Susan Chambless of Missouri, USA, who is busy tracing the history of some of the American Glendays. Susan recently started a GLENDAY list server, at GLENDAY-L- request@rootsweb.com. I hope some of this helps, and I look forward to hearing from you.
