Good morning Have just "upgraded" from Windows XP, because the support for this ends in April, to Windows 8.1. Very interesting I must say but I have "misplaced" a lot of my address book. If you have written to me recently or just want to say "Hi" please feel free to do so. Also I am still looking for links to my paternal line of STEED. My grandfather was Andrew born in 1874 in Dalmellington Ayrshire and died in 1943 in Stevenston Ayrshire. He was married to Elizabeth LENNON born 1881 Stevenston and died in 1969 again in Stevenston. Her parents were Patrick LENNON and Marion McCARTNEY and his were Andrew STEED and Eleanor McFADZEAN (he died in Glasgow after being run down by a railway engine in 1894). This might seem as if it should be on the Ayrshire list (which it will be) but the STEED/STEAD family did live in the Bluevale Street Glasgow area for some time as well (at the time of Andrew's death in 1894 they were at 38 Clova Terrace Uddingston). Hope to hear back from some of my missing addressees. Ewan Steed

Rhoda, It is not that those websites are incorrect in that they are copying the information given in a US government publication. The problem is that the publication is wrong. Hugh Logan's original enlistment record states his birthplace is Scotland. All other records that required a statement of place of birth give Scotland. His birth is in the Lanark Parish records. As usual with government's, trying to find a person who has the authority to make the correction and cares enough to do it is not easy. It might never be corrected. But meanwhile, as my last post stated, Hugh's burial place has been located. Thank you for your help.

I would like to thank the list for all the help with this research. I have heard back from Lesley Davidson at lanarkshire.gov.uk. She has sent me the burials daybook pages for Hugh jr, Hugh sr and Martha LOGAN's burials. If anyone is related to this LOGAN family I would be happy to forward copies. Meanwhile, the extracted information is below.

Jo-Ann Croft

Jo-Ann The Irish birth appears to be accepted officially. See: http://projects.militarytimes.com/citations-medals-awards/recipient.php?recipientid=1384 (that is just one of the many references to his Irish birth that I found with a Google search). I don’t know the status of the ‘Military Times, Hall of Valor’ or the source of its information. Have you proof that the Hugh Logan born to Hugh Logan and Janet Easton is the same Hugh Logan who was awarded the Medal of Honor? If so, then you are right about his Scottish birth. His baptism entry in the Lanark Parish Register can be viewed on the Scotlands People website.

Jo As an addendum to my earlier reponse, all the records I have since looked at online - official and unofficial - seem to think that Hugh Logan was Irish-born. The Irish, in particular, seem very happy to claim him as one of their own:=)) Rhoda

Jo-Ann Have you thought about contacting the Lanarkshire Family History Society? ( http://www.lanarkshirefhs.org.uk). I am sure someone there will be interested in finding out something about the background to this 'local hero'. If there was not much money in the family he was probably buried in an unmarked grave, maybe in Glasgow where he died. Perhaps the best hope is that something appeared in a contemporary Scottish newspaper at the time of his death.

Does anyone have a connection with a William Bryson, Avendale Lanarkshire born 1794. Looking at my husbands DNA and this person is listed as a fourth cousin. My husbands last name is Haughee with surnames of James, Henry, Stark, Soule, connected all on his mother's side but Loughmiller, Hoback, Rose, Little, Short connected on the male side. Dates go back to 1755. There is always hope on finding connections isn't there? Kaye Robertson Haughee

Fraser, Here are transcriptions of the death registrations of Hugh and of his father Hugh (whose father was also named Hugh according to the informant). As you can see, the name Hugh continues back, so while your LOGANs are probably connected, it is not a direct connection. I found Hugh jr's birth of 23 Nov 1833 in Lanark and those of several siblings, but nothing further back. 1903 Deaths, District of Anderston in the Burg of Glasgow Page 194 #580 Hugh LOGAN, seaman (merchant service), single Died: 22 Nov 1903, 3 K??t Street, Glasgow Age: 67 years Parents: Hugh LOGAN, quarryman (deceased) & Janet Logan m.s.

Jo-ann, I have information about a Logan family from Lanark parish having five male children born between 1788 and 1803. Their male lineage goes back to 1691 in Lanark. There are no Hughs in the family but one of them may be the father of Hugh.

Is there a place to find MIs for the Lanark Parish cemeteries? If there are no recorded MIs, where could lair information be obtained? I have a Hugh LOGAN who died 22 Nov 1903 who was most likely buried there. Although he died in Glasgow, his family was from Lanark going back several generations and he was listed as a resident there on both the 1891 and 1901 census records. I am trying to find his grave as he is a United States Medal of Honor recipient whose grave has never been located. Our Medal of Honor is the highest possible military medal, awarded for courage above and beyond your duty. Hugh LOGAN was awarded his for actions in 1862 during the USA Civil War while a member of our naval forces. If anyone can make a connection to Hugh, he was the son of Hugh LOGAN & Janet Logan m.s. EASTON both of Lanark. He was born about 1834. He was a seaman in the Merchant Service for most of his life. Due to disability attributed to his USA naval service, he was awarded a pension from the US government. Jo-Ann

Hi Joanne, Many thanks for your help Olwyn

The index at www.scotlandspeople lists just two James Quin(n)s born 1889 plus or minus five years and died in Motherwell, one in 1974 and the other in 1983. Both those are less than 50 years ago, so the certificates are not available to view on the Scotland's People web site. If he didn't die in Motherwell, and assuming no creative spelling variations, he could be one of 26 others who died in Lanarkshire, or 35 who died in the rest of Scotland, all aged at least 30. If I were looking for him, I would look at both those certificates, and then I'd look for corresponding births, in the hope that one of them was born in Scotland. There were 79 births of James Quin(n)s in Scotland between 1885 and 1895, but you'd have an exact date of birth from the death certificate(s) so you'd only have to check one, or at most two, years. If that failed (i.e. neither was born in Scotland), I would then try searching for family, hoping that one had a daughter Beatrice and the other did not. There were 10 Bea* Quin(n)s born in Scotland between 1914 and 1970, but again you would have to send away for all these certificates because they are more recent than 100 years ago, so they are not available to download on the Scotland's People web site. I suggest that you consider hiring a professional searcher, which should work out cheaper (and much quicker!) than sending for sheaves of certificates.
