Gretchen, I think I may have found a record for your Baptie family. On the birth record from Scotlandspeople for Catherine Laing, 1860 the next name on the sheet is a Robert Baptie, April 6, 1863, parents, Charles Baptie, Jane Douglas, married May 15, 1846 or 48 hard to read.

Hi: Well....welcome to the family. This is cool...direct or indirect, I alwaysthought that I would only find rellies in Australia through my mom's Irish family who lived there for a bit before going back to Ireland and emmigrating to Canada from there.

Gretchen, I have another one as well. My 2x great grandmother's aunt married my 3x great grandfather Lauchlan Dempster, so he was my 2x's uncle.

Hi, Is it possible that Andrew and Catherine were a generation below, being children of James (1807) or William (1809), or children of a brother of our original William(1788). There seem to be many generations of LAING's in Newton on the IGI just looking at one batch number as one of the lister's suggested. g **************Ideas to please picky eaters.

At one point I thought we should start discussing off list, but then we wouldn't have had so many Laings join in. Toni was a great help with the cousin line-up and was great to be interested in our discussions. That is how we learn here. For a long time, I sat in the background picking up tips and learning. I don't think I would be as far today if I hadn't jumped in and asked questions and had so many people offer advices. Still working on all the bits and pieces in the tree. I can't wait until March 3 when the one I think will help pull it all together gets back from vacation. We have to be patient until then.

Hi Liz, Glad to have all the connections. You are right on mine. I am Gretchen (Baptie) Ziehmer. My father was George BAPTIE (b1907), Grandfather Alexander BAPTIE(b1883), ggrandfather George BAPTIE(b 1860), and gggrandfather Alexander BAPTIE married to Elizabeth LAING ARCHIBALD. Thanks for all your time spent on figuring this out for all of us. gretchen **************Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.

Hi Toni, Thank you sooooo much. This really helps me. The once removed's really threw me for a while so glad you included those in your explanation. Also was beginning to worry that all our back and forth conversations would be boring to people who are not related. Glad to know that you have been following.

Hi No I dionot know where Robertson comes from. I kind of presume it is probably his grandmother's maiden name, but have no proof as yet.

I've not actually seen this record, so am not certain just how the mother's names are recorded. On Andrew's second marriage (I have the cert), father stated as James BROWN miner; mother Janet GRAHAM. His 1926 death cert gives same data for parents as 2nd marriage. Perhaps someone else with BROWNs might recognize this lot ...? Toni ~ Ontario

I suggest that you check the batch number and see what is in it (I think you can do this by clicking on the batch number and then doing a search with no first and last name). If there are a lot of records in the same parish of unrelated people, then the submitter may not have been searching that family in particular. Quite a few patron-submitted records seem to be cases where an eager church member has individually decided to submit records found in a parish register, probably before that register had been indexed on the IGI.
