Hi all, I am new to the list. I have information on the above families, and am interested in what resources would b useful to find more. So far I have used Scotland's people for census and bmd. but wish to loo for information in the 1700s. I am wondering if occupations would be a guide and where to find apprenticeship information for example. Many were blacksmith. Other occupations included shoemaker, jeweller, carter, farmer. kind regards Marg O'Leary Port Stephens, NSW, Australia [email protected] family history web site - http://www.rickarby.net/ One name study - SKEAD, SKED TOMAREE FAMILY HISTORY - (Port Stephens NSW) http://www.tomareefamilyhistory.com/index.html
