Dear George & Rosemary, greetings from Invercargill New Zealand, from a "distant" cousin, I have been working on my "tree" for about 16 years. As Carol Petrie says, I am descended from Charles Petrie who was born 25 June 1838 at Kennethmont, he was married on the 1 Dec 1860 at Drumblade to Isabella FARQUHARSON, they later moved to Towleys, Leslie, Aberdeenshire, they had a total of nine children, one of whom was my grandmother Ann (Annie) PETRIE, b 6th April 1868. Charles PETRIE died 3 Jan 1910, and Isabella 5 Dec 1928 at Kintore, both are buried at Leslie. Ann Moved to Edinburgh where she married Henry NEILSON on the 4 June 1897 at Colinton, Midlothian, my mother Isabella Petrie Neilson was born on the 6th Dec 1906, she married William Wilkie HENDERSON at Edinburgh on the 12 June 1931. It is good to hear of another member of the clan Kind Regards to you both George N Henderson Invercargill New Zealand ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2001 1:01 PM Subject: PETRIE-SCOTLAND-D Digest V01 #52

Hello George & Rosemary ROBB, Welcome to the PETRIEs! That was a very interesting message and you will find that you connect to several people on this list - but not me. First, the PETRIEs. My G Grandfather was James PETRIE 1843 to 1912 of Woodend, Auchindoir. His parents were Robert PETRIE and Ann COLLIE, who did not marry. I am stuck with this Robert PETRIE - there were 55 Robert PETRIEs alive at this time. I am particularly interested in a Robert PETRIE of Kennethmont chr 1805 died 1885 who was the son of William PETRIE and Ann ROBERTSON in your line. I feel sure that you must know of this man and as you live only 30 miles from Kennethmont you probably know the area very well. Please tell me all that you know of this Robert PETRIE. Now for the COOKs! Rosemary, your mother is Mary Cook HUNTER - which tells me that your maternal grandmother was a COOK. Am I right? All the COOKs in Aberdeenshire can be traced back to just 3 families in the 1600's. These 3 are probably also related, but the records to prove it do not appear to have survived. Please send your COOK details directly to me and I will see what I can do. A' th' noo, Derek Kent,England

Hi Herb & Trevor, I had spotted this to and knew there must be a problem, as similar came through for Bette, and do not be surprised if one comes through for me too, as I also looked at Trevor's page to see if there was an obvious problem. Trevor please do not worry about this, it would appear there is a glitch in their programme..... so I have contacted MyFamily.com to let them know that their FT programme is mis-behaving...with silly messages. I'll let you know the outcome.

Dear George & Rosemary You almost gave me a heart attack. I have been doing my 'tree' - the Petries of Kennethmont for nearly 20 years and have not yet come across any living descendants from the second family of Samuel Petrie & Margaret Cassie - of who I am a direct descendant. The John you mention is my Great Grandfather William Petries younger brother. I have been wondering for years what happened to John after his mother died in Huntly in 1884 and could not find any trace locally. My Dads older cousin Jean Murray remembers an Uncle John who was in the army and may have been in Aberdeen - but nothing more. I also have a lot of details of not only Samuels first family by Margaret Dey but also Samuel's siblings and his ancestors and I also knew of William Petrie being married to Anne Issac and then Ann Robertson and the 14 off spring (at least). I'm sure I have tons of information you would find interesting regarding births, marriages, deaths and burials. Please list your address and I will send you a copy printout from my database with the details of hundreds of Petries. (PS One of Samuels brothers Charles Petrie & wife Isabella Farquharson have a descendant George Henderson from New Zealand who is also on this email list. I'm glad to here from you both.

All, I have become interested in the Petrie family through research into my Shearer family roots in Orkney, Scotland. My great-grandfather, Peter Shearer, born 4 March 1840 to David Shearer and Margaret Tait in Holm and Paplay, had older siblings, David, born 23 March 1833, and Jane, born 19 September 1835. According to the records that I've researched, Jane Shearer married Archibald Petrie (christened 14 January 1834 in Holm and Paplay) on 6 May 1858, and they had at least eight children: David Shearer Petrie, 28 February 1859; Jane or Jean Petrie, 17 July 1862; Margaret Tait Petrie, 16 December 1863; Euphemia Eunson Petrie, 29 May 1865; Isabella Petrie, 5 February, 1868; Ann Swanney Petrie, 11 March 1870; Jessie Agnus Petrie, 17 June 1872; and, John Petrie, 4 years old when the 1881 census was enumerated. I am interested in learning more about the decendents of Archibald and Jane, and in tracing Archibald's family back as far as possible. Any information or suggestions that you care to share with me would be much appreciated. Warm regards, John Shearer Clifton, Virginia, USA

Wobbler is a hoax. Unfortunately, too many of the hoaxes take advantage of very well-meaning people who, in passing along the warning, actually use up a huge amount of bandwidth and people's time, precisely the intent of the bozo who started the hoax in the first place. An unfortunate secondary result is that we become jaded and assume all such warnings are hoaxes. I really do appreciate the warning, Clare and Murray, for I go straight to one of the virus veracity pages to check these things out. Here's what Vmyths.com (http://vmyths.com/hoax.cfm?id=162&page=3) - "Truth about computer virus myths & hoaxes" has to say about Wobbler. - April Canaday Wobbler virus A typical variation on the original Good Times hoax virus alert. It claims your computer will suffer a horrible death if you receive an email with the subject line "California" or with an attachment named "California". Like most hoax alerts, it urges you to forward it to others because "not many people seem to know about this yet." It also claims IBM and AOL declared Wobbler more dangerous and more powerful than Melissa. Naturally, the hoax alert claims "there is no remedy" available if your computer gets infected. > VIRUS WARNING FROM MICROSOFT > > THERE IS A NEW VIRUS - WOBBLER.

Hello all, This is my second attempt, as the first message failed to be delivered, :Re. New Content on PETRIE of SCOTLAND WEBPAGE Website on Feb 24 this shows Trevor Petrie family was modified by Herb Petrie. I looked at this page---but I did not modify it. Herb Petrie.

Hello Bill, Well I really had my facts wrong with the Dogger bank and New Foundland didn't I? Thanks for the info... I still have the idea that the fishing boats from the coast of Scotland fished for cod off New Foundland in those early days. I have found an Upper Island Cove and a Lower Island Cove in Conception Bay.....so perhaps that is the area I am looking for. No luck with the web site so far http://ww.islandnet.com/~jveinot/cghl/cghl.html. I got to islandnet.com but they said the next part was not a correct site. Have I made an error? By the way... I think it would be great to have a Grandfather who was an actor!!! Thanks for your help. Gillian. ChCh, NZ

Hello Bill, There has been a lot of talk of Reids lately and straying a little from Petries..... you have obviously been doing research in New Foundland. I am chasing a John Reid, Mariner, (married Sarah Phillips) and living in Island Cove, New Foundland about the mid 1800s. I have no idea where he came from but might it be Scotland, tied in with the fishing fleets that fished off the Dogger Bank, New Foundland? Do you know why your Great-Grandfather, Alexander Petrie migrated to new Foundland??? Is there a web site for New Foundland research? Any thoughts gratefully received. Gillian. Christchurch, NZ.

Hi gang Just wanted you to know that my reservations are booked at the Strathdon Guest House in Dundee. Can't wait until August. I haven't been doing much on my Petrie side lately as I have been working on my hubby's family so the gathering will be great to get back into my family for a change. I have an aunt who lives in B.C. and will coming with me so this will be even better since I don't get to see her much. Janine

Hi Leon and Gillian, For more information on the Reid connection go to FamilyHistory.com, they have a Reid message board. Also, to refine your search try http://www.islandnet.com/~jveinot/cghl/cghl.html this site will give you all sorts of connections to Newfoundland genealogy. My Great-Grand father was had a shipping (fleet?) business that serviced the UK and Newfoundland, according to my mother. Unfortunately, when my grandmother married my grandfather, Great-grandfather Petrie, for whatever reason disowned my grand-mother. My mother thinks it's because my grandfather was an actor......how dreadful!! I'd love to find out the whole story, and someday I will. Good luck in your search. Bill Taylor

Hello the Petrie Gang, I can only agree with Emil, that the Petrie families of Scotland seemed to have a core set of forenames which they continually used throughout the generations...... The other day I puddled with the database and came up with the following Petrie trivia for you !!! :o) At the moment there are 5055 Male Petrie Births in Scotland recorded on my database... Forename breakdown..... ALEXANDER PETRIE - 541 ANDREW PETRIE - 176 CHARLES PETRIE - 108 DAVID PETRIE - 413 GEORGE PETRIE - 393 JAMES PETRIE - 808 JOHN PETRIE - 792 JOSEPH PETRIE - 44 PETER PETRIE - 66 ROBERT PETRIE - 254 SAMUEL PETRIE - 27 THOMAS PETRIE - 149 WILLIAM PETRIE - 675 This totals 4446 of the 5055 Male Births in the database and therefore these 13 forenames account for 88% of all the Male Petrie births in Scotland that I have recorded .... On the Female Petrie's we are in a similar situation, although their names are often subject to spelling variations.... At the moment there are 4329 Female Petrie Births in Scotland recorded on my database... Forename breakdown..... AGNES PETRIE - 187 ANN - ANNE - ANNIE PETRIE - 340 BARBARA PETRIE - 85 BETTY - BETSY PETRIE - 62 CATHERINE - KATHARINE PETRIE - 139 CHRISTIAN - CHRISTINA PETRIE - 98 ELIZABETH - ELISABETH PETRIE - 304 ELSPET - ELSPETH PETRIE - 88 HELEN PETRIE - 176 ISABEL - ISABELLA - ISOBEL etc - 380 JANE PETRIE - 165 JANET PETRIE - 262 JEAN PETRIE - 236 JESSIE PETRIE - 107 MARGARET PETRIE - 597 MARJORY - MARJORIE PETRIE - 44 MARY PETRIE - 342 SUSAN - SUSANNA PETRIE - 43 This totals 3655 of the 4329 Female Births in the database and therefore these 18 forenames account for 84% of all Female Petrie births in Scotland that I have recorded......

Hi Everyone, I have just been sent a letter written by Ethel Jacobi (nee Davidson - daughter of Mary Clementina Petrie and David Petrie Davidson). It was written in 1928. Ethel had been widowed for 5 years when she wrote the letter and was bringing up 4 boys, including my husband's gradfather Cecil (referred to in the letter as "Toto"!!). She refers to her Aunt Agnes in the letter and I was wondering if it was her mother's sister, Agnes Catherine Petrie? Anyway, I have included the letter below for anyone who is interested to read. Sharon ---------------------------------------------------- 12 Seine St I. Bay Friday 1 June My Dear Ma, You will think you have got two thoughtless daughters, but as you know, Win has been terribly busy what with scouring the town for new furniture etc & getting into line in a new place. My excuses are just the same as usual. Win has got a very nice Chesterfield suit, a nice kind of sideboard � china cabinet arrangement, a nice gate leg table & piano stool all in oak. That is the sitting room � dining room stuff they are going to get a carpet soon & new curtains & cushions then that room will be complete. The boy�s double bed is down & they have all got single beds now & it is ever so much better & a dutchesse for Jean�s room and another for the boys, so they are well set up now. Now I feel I have got the worst stuff now, I have & I can�t get anything new either it is just a worn out house & the boy�s clothes & my own too. I do get the blues sometimes but I have just to get over it again. I got a costume affair from Pearl for cost &#8356;3-10 & I have only paid her &#8356;2 so far. I simply had to get something. Hubert was very lucky. Pearl�s influence got him into Macky-Logans warehouse (soft goods). He likes it very much. Our boys wouldn�t have drapery on their minds but Hubert looks like a draper. He likes his little self why not anyhow, he is a nice looking boy & looks nice & neat & clean. I like him. Toto doesn�t care for him. ???? is due for a rise in a fortnight. He has been at Lenthies a year now. I don�t know when he is getting his holidays. Win was out yesterday. She is getting used to her new trades people now & settling down alright. I can�t go out often as it costs me 1/6 in bus and 10 car fare & here�s a bomb shell. John M. has left us & has gone to town to live. He has got a room in Boulott St & goes out to his meals. He made the excuse it was too far out waiting for cars & he wanted to study. I think & know he doesn�t like getting up early loves his bed too much so I am minus his 3/? Although I don�t min being without him. Win said good job. He hasn�t been out to see her yet. How are you keeping well I hope. How is wee John keeping now. Isn�t it lovely him being alright again. Fancy another anniversary of Pa�s gong, how the time flies, seven years isn�t it? I had a letter for Aunt Agnes but not much news in it. They must be pretty hard up. John sent them some money last mail. John says they have practically only Ruth�s money coming in. Mable & her husband are good to them when they are up there. He was another old stupid. When are you coming down again? We have had some queer weather lately. I see there is an eclipse of the moon on Sunday starting about � past eight. I wrote to Gowrie?? & asked her to post a Banner to me. I got one this morning & there is a terrible lot of reading in it. If you would like it I will post it to you when I have finished it. I got John M. interested in them & now he is going to have them. He asked me to find out about them so I did. He said he would pay for them if I ordered them so there we will have them ourselves. The Gowrie? sent me is twelve months old but it is a very interesting one. I haven�t seen Gert since that time in the summer. Lily came out on Sat. last & paid her duty call & she took me to hear the Russian pianist �Mosevehich� he was wonderful. He is the first good one I have heard & I did enjoy it so very much. I hadn�t been to anything since Dorothy was here that one night � didn�t even get to see the two plays that have been on & I like the actor so much, he is so good. I go to our guild again as there was nothing else to do & that is every other Thursday. Our minister is alright very sincere. His wife is not a woman you can look to, no personality & can�t hold a position somehow, not like Mrs McCaw. She talks like mad, I can�t be bothered with her, Fancy next month Toto will be 20, isn�t it great. He has been home three days with a flu cold like he gets, you know. Well dear I don�t know of anymore news this time, so will ring off & I won�t be so long in writing again. Don�t keep me so long as I have kept you will you. Give my love to Dorothy & tell her I am waiting for the letter she promised to write to me when she was in Wanganui & I suppose she is home again. Best love to wee John & Harvene & yourself. I remain Your Loving Daughter Ethel __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Auctions - Buy the things you want at great prices! http://auctions.yahoo.com/

When searching through the OPRs of Farnell, I came across a few pages of deaths. There were two entries of interest. Here they are as written. 1764 September 30 mortcloth to Helen Petrie's burial £1-19/6d. This must have been the best mortcloth, as a general labourer earned per year about twice the amount charged for this cloth. It would have been reserved for landowners or professional persons and their families. 1786 December the twentieth and six Margaret Petrie from Little Fittice was interred in the churchyard of Farnell. Murray Nicoll

Norma, You have certainly put things in perspective for us. No wonder I'm having a hard time finding my Great-Grandfather,.ALEXANDER PETRIE, with 541 of them in your data base alone! I wonder how many other Alexander Petrie's immigrated to Newfoundland in the 1800's! Thanks from a very cold Waterville, Maine U.S.A. Bill Taylor
