Hi Everyone, I have Thomas SPENCE b. Sep 07 1880 in Stoursdale, Stennis, Orkney Islands who came to Racine WI, USA around 1915. He married Margaret Marie POTTINGER b. 21 Jun 1889 in Lycippus, PA. Margaret's parents were William POTTINGER and Jane MILLER both from Westray, Orkney Islands. Does anyone know who Thomas's parents are? Thanks, Teresa Pottinger Geiger -----Original Message----- From: Pam Thomson <pthomson@bc.sympatico.ca> To: ORKNEY-L@rootsweb.com <ORKNEY-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Wednesday, February 24, 1999 1:44 PM Subject: [ORKNEY-L] Re: SPENCE >I have a SPENCE connection.
