I have listed 10 generations from my 4-x-greatgrandparents John WILLIAMSON born abt 1751 in Shirva, Shetland and Isabella IRVINE born abt 1750 in Fair Isle, Shetland to their granddaughter Margaret WILLIAMSON (my great- grandmother) born 1840 in Whitehall, Stronsay to many of their descendants born in the Orkneys to those born in Canada and the US. A few of the names that may be of interest are WILLIAMSON, IRVINE, LESLIE, FIDDLER, STOUT, EUNSON, HARCUS, MACKENZIE, RENDALL, etc. I also can do lookups for the Whitehall, Stronsay Census of 1841, 1851 and 1861. Anne, Thank you for doing this. It is much appreciated. Phil Pursley
