Hi Norma, Thanks for emails - this is my initial response. To give you an example: Today, 2xKari/3xRobben/1xJanine, Meg and Gavin went in junk mail but not duplicated in inbox. Today, this email from you plus one from Lynda Leslie came into inbox but not into junk. Trouble is I replied to Jennifer Petrie and Stephen Petrie site emails which had come into my junk and they have not appeared so I shall have to be careful how I respond - perhaps only through the inbox ones? This after I actually saved the address coming into junk box. The addresses look identical. So I cannot even report that, by saving the junk address, the problem is solved. If it is my end, I'll see if my son can sort it. Aren't you glad you are back - but at least you are generating interest again and geeing us all up.

Hi Petrie members I see there has been quite a few emails re Petrie's of Panbride. Several years ago a Jacqueline Yuill contacted me saying that she had met up with a cousin of mine in Hastings, New Zealand, and had given her the information that she had researched about a James Petrie and a Margaret Skirlen who had married in Panbride in 1755 and they were our direct forebears. I don't know how reliable this information is but I thought I would post it in case it connects any others. Their descendant was: James Petrie and he married Isabel Fairlie. Their descendants were: Henry, James, John and William James married Jean Milne Their descendants were: James, Alexander, Elizabeth and Robert Alexander married Barbara Gibson and they had eleven children and I am descended from their Robert who came to New Zealand in 1862. When Norma was helping me out she came across information that there were two Alexanders born in Forfar in 1801 so not able to confirm which Alexander was mine. >From the marriage of Alexander Petrie and Barbara Gibson the descendants from their union can all be authenticated. Looking at second names of two of their children I see the name Guthrie and noted that further back in time a James Petrie was married in Guthrie and was wondering if place names could also be used for family members to show a link back to a place where some important event took place??? Anyway hoping this is of some use!!!! Kind regards from a very warm Thames morning in New Zealand. Robert Petrie

Hi Robert Many thanks for your kind welcome Robert, and Hello to cousin Bruce in Kentucky too !! :o) I've dusted down the Petrie Database and am glad to find it is still useful....

Hi Jennifer and all I'm descended down the Alexander Petrie line in Strathardle/Kirkmichael, the other being John Petrie. I did send through an email re Stephen Petrie's message but don't know whether it reached everyone. I seem to be getting Petrie emails through two avenues - both with the same address quoted but some are recognised by my in-box and some are not.

Hi Annette, I have checked in the Website File Cabinet and have found the same problem as you, but only with the Census details that Stephen (Baker) uploaded in Feb 04....my 'puter does not recognise these files either, and I expect others will have the same problem. However if you Click on "more>" below these files, it opens up 3 more long pages of Petrie info available for download, I have done a random check of them and all the rest seem to be fine and download no problem. Many thanks for bringing it to our attention. Hi Stephen, I don't know if you can remember the file type you used for these files, as it was back in 2004, but can you have a look and see if you can open/fix them or upload again, it would be a shame to lose them.

Hi Stephen Really enjoyed looking at your pics. I think that my Petries were amongst those who came down from the glen to Blairgowrie because of the mills and the work generated by them - both indirectly and directly. For years my great-grandparents Alexander and Annie Petrie lived at the Board of Health Cottage which overlooked the Ericht and several mills. I know the Blair Mill depicted well so it brought back memories for me. I think that they might be planning to renovate it?! So pleased to see the Enochdhu pic too. Have just purchased a copy of that - a rare pic, I think and a great scene. Went past it a couple of weeks ago. The parents of my paternal great-grandmother Annie Petrie (nee Forbes) lived at The Croft, Enochdhu - a bit further up/down the road. I must get a scanner so that I can put a pic on the site, of them outside their home. They had come into the glen from the north - for work, I imagine. Anyway, I ramble on. Thanks for the memories :-) Heather

LDS reports: *1.* WILLIAM SKIRLING <IGI/individual_record.asp?recid=500181815884&lds=1&region=2&regionfriendly=British+Isles&frompage=99> - International Genealogical Index / BI Gender: Male Christening: 30 APR 1805 Panbride, Angus, Scotland *2.* ROBERT SKIRLING <IGI/individual_record.asp?recid=500181822764&lds=1&region=2&regionfriendly=British+Isles&frompage=99> - International Genealogical Index / BI Gender: Male Christening: 19 OCT 1808 Panbride, Angus, Scotland *3.* JAMES SKIRLING <IGI/individual_record.asp?recid=500181818629&lds=1&region=2&regionfriendly=British+Isles&frompage=99> - International Genealogical Index / BI Gender: Male Christening: 17 JUL 1792 Panbride, Angus, Scotland *4.* SKIRLING <IGI/individual_record.asp?recid=500181805443&lds=1&region=2&regionfriendly=British+Isles&frompage=99> - International Genealogical Index / BI Gender: Male Christening: 28 JUL 1802 Panbride, Angus, Scotland *5.* PATRICK SKIRLING <IGI/individual_record.asp?recid=500181817272&lds=1&region=2&regionfriendly=British+Isles&frompage=99> - International Genealogical Index / BI Gender: Male Christening: DEC 1799 Panbride, Angus, Scotland *6.* GEORGE SKIRLING <IGI/individual_record.asp?recid=500181808468&lds=1&region=2&regionfriendly=British+Isles&frompage=99> - International Genealogical Index / BI Gender: Male Christening: 16 AUG 1794 Panbride, Angus, Scotland *7.* ALEXANDER SKIRLING <IGI/individual_record.asp?recid=500181824404&lds=1&region=2&regionfriendly=British+Isles&frompage=99> - International Genealogical Index / BI Gender: Male Christening: 08 FEB 1797 Panbride, Angus, Scotland which may indicate that Skirling is still being used into the early 1800s. Maybe the move to the Americas and registration at emigration was where the name changed?

Welcome back Norma! Its good to hear the Petrie inbox pinging regularly again. Its just doesn't seem to happen without you! Just in case there is anyone new on the site, I am still interested in finding some of the many relations I must have in Dundee. Any descendants of William Petrie and Ann Nicoll, married Dundee 26th November 1834 would be of interest. Am also looking for any new information on Murroes Petries in the 1700s. One of my interests has always been the earliest origins of the Petries. Many groups are organising DNA testing and analysis to establish the genetic origins of the family name. I wondered if any Petries had done this yet, and if so, does it throw any light on Petrie genetic makeup? The Gregor Clan has a DNA project running and this is of direct interest to Petries, who are a Sept of the clan, as many of you will know. During the persecution of the clan and the banning of the name Gregor and its other versions, clan members adopted several other names, including, it is believed, Petrie. This is recognised in the status Petries have within the clan. Because of this scattering of the clan and the loss of the name, a DNA project is under way to see if there is a direct line back to Celtic origins. Some associated name groups have also been tested to see if they have strong genetic links to the clan, but not Petrie so far. The early Celtic origins seem to be proved, but the links to the associated names are still not. There is, however, a Gregor genetic profile established that can be compared against.

Hello all, I've been receiving the Petrie-Scotland e-mails for several years now and have been interested to read the comments from so many Petries all over the globe. My fascination with this stems from my personal experience living in central Massachusetts in the U.S., where the Petrie name is extremely rare. As a child, I was always aware that the only Petrie listing in our telephone directory (covering a fairly large city and its suburbs) was for our family. The name Petrie was a unique identity -- unlike our other friends who had common surnames. Since I've never actually met any one else with the Petrie name besides immediate family members, I was naïve to assume there were few Petries out there until I received a genealogy document passed on from an elderly family member from Canada in the 1980s. I realized that there were probably many distant Petrie cousins I never knew existed, but my imagination could not begin to comprehend the numbers of Petries out there until I discovered the internet and all the Petries who are actively seeking global connections with other Petrie descendants. This probably sounds quite a bit ignorant, but obviously, my isolation from other Petries and my adolescent experience having an unusual surname (in this area) no doubt contribute to my fascination with the discovery of all the Petries on-line. I am still surprised to receive an e-mail from a James or John Petrie, and then I quickly realize it isn't concerning my brothers, Jim and John, who are the only James and John Petries I know. It has been both fun and awe-inspiring to discover the diligent efforts by such loyal researchers, who make every effort to connect the Petries with their ancestors. On that note, I am grateful to Dave and Bob Petrie of Minnesota, USA for filling in many of the blanks for me on my own family tree. I'd be interested in corresponding with anyone who is a descendant of my ggggggf James Petrie b. 3 Mar 1701/02 Kinnell, Angus, Scotland, m. Isobel (Isabel) Clerk 4 Jun 1724 Parish of Craig (Craig is just south of Montrose), Angus, Scotland; Isobel (Isabel): b. Bef. 1708. If anyone is interested, I am willing to share family photos of my Petrie family in exchange for your Petrie family photos. Thanks to you all. Sandy (Petrie) Hachey

Hi David, That is fantastic news! I have a collection of photos myself - I know some who some of them are and have arranged a meeting with my husband's second cousin for Saturday, so I am hoping to get more information then. It would be lovely to meet up and compare everything - I'm sure we could help each other out. If there are any other Kirkmichael Petries out there, I would love to hear from you, Thanks Jennifer Petrie ----- Original Message ----- From: Genealogy<mailto:genealogy1542@yahoo.co.uk> To: petrie-scotland@rootsweb.com<mailto:petrie-scotland@rootsweb.com> Sent: 26 September 2006 12:04 Subject: [PETRIE-SCOTLAND] Petrie- Kirkmichael, Strathardle, Perthshire Dear All I have noticed a great many postings on the 'Petrie Scotland' website of late pertaining to Kirkmichael.

Hi all, Is it just me or is anyone else experience a duplication of emails being sent through - via two different routes/from two different addresses? I get them via one old route then, because of my filter, I get them through again via a different address into my junk mail. Confusing thing is that they are not all dulicated so I have to sift through them all just in case I miss one. Doesn't take much to confuse ME :-) Heather

Hi there David, Are you, by any chance, descended from my Alexander line? But neverthe less, I'll get back to you with some questions when I can get my head round what to ask :-) Do you by any chance know Linda Cameron - she has a cousin (amongst others) called Ardle living in the Strathardle glen. I think that is such a cool name!!

Hi Catherine I thought I was sending this information to Norma direct. It went on the the list instead (sigh). I hope I have not caused offense. I certainly want to share my research with the rest of the Petrie family but I would rather have not given as may notes. James Stirling, or Skirling as it has been recorded on the christening record, I got from the Latter Day Saints database as 17 JUL 1792 Panbride, Angus, Scotland. I have corrected the birth to abt Jul 1792 to reflect that.When I started adding people to my database I used christening dates if I did not have the birth date. I have now learnt how to record them seperately. The reference to you was from http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/PETRIE-SCOTLAND/2003-06/1054939270 and your contributions to the Petrie forum which sparked off my interest in the Petrie/Stirling connection, thank you. The story of the Stirling's' immigration to the Americas was fascinating & so sad at times. Other sites include: http://www.monikie.org.uk/stirling-news.htm and http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=080102bjl&id=I0314 which give information on the Stirling descendants. The information I have put together I am using as a framework which I am adding facts to as I get them and adjusting relationships where thew facts don't fit.I usually use a question mark after the name where I am having a wild guess! Can I take this opportunity to give a special thanks to my cousin David Rowe who manually researched the archives in Edinburgh some 30 years ago for the original births and marriages which formed the basic facts which gave me a starting point to extend from. My regards to Bonnie and sorry for using her name too. Bruce cstirlinggould@earthlink.net wrote: > Hi Bruce: Bonnie Petee brought to my attention the fact that she and I are > cited as sources below.
