I know quite a bit about my Scottish lineage, but before I go any farther, I want to make sure that I'm not duplicating someone else's efforts. I don't want to recover old ground if the research has already been performed. Therefore, has anyone out there known of, partaken of, read of, etc. any written or documented Family History concerning William HYND & Margaret MACLEA N, who immigrated from Dunfermline, Fife County, Scotland to Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, USA in 1903? They had 9 children (Alex, Archie, Jessie, Bill, Larry, Katherine, Maggie, Jean, & Mary), and naturally had many, many descendants here in this country. Are any of you out there descended from this couple? I also want to mention that Margaret MACLEAN HYND's sister, Montgomery MACLEAN, was married to Thomas BEVERIDGE. Montgomery & Thomas immigrated to America in 1896 and also lived in PA. Although the Beveridges aren't in my direct line, I believe that since they were a well known family in Dunfermline, that maybe someone out there who has researched Beveridge might have just a tidbit or two of information for me <she asked hopefully with big, pleading puppy dog eyes> :-) I am also looking for someone named LINDA EAGER who used to live in Maryland in the 70's when I was a teenager. Once we were both at a one of the HYND reunions in Pennsylvania and exchanged addresses because we were both interested in our family history. Well I don't think I ever contacted her until recently and the letter came back addressee unknown. Are you out there Linda? How far did you ever get with our Scottish lineage? Please contact me!!! By the way, I apologize to the PENNA-DUTCH mailing list as these folks aren't Pennsylvania Dutch. However, some of William & Margaret's children did marry others who WERE PA Dutch, so I wanted to include this query on that list as well as on the GENBRIT & SURNAMES-BRITAIN lists.
