Hello all, I don't post very often because of lack of time but this is the first of two posts today (considered concatenating them into one but I decided that would be confusing and the header would be ridiculously long!). First of all, just to add to the alternate names discussion, I have a Donald/Daniel Morrison of Comrie, who seems to have changed from Donald to Daniel after the birth of his first son, causing quite a bit of confusion among researchers. This was in the middle to late 18th century and I am guessing it was something to do with a change from Gaelic to English being spoken in the area. In my family we have a whole series of Janets being called Jessie in the Angus/Perthshire borders branch and Janets being called Jenny in the Fife branch. But another one I find interesting is where a girl born in mid 19th century Fife is named Jemima after her maternal grandmother, Jacobina. best wishes, Sheila Perry
