Patricia: Do you have any more information about your Alexander Petrie? My g grandfather, James Petrie, b. 4 Jun 1838 in Arbroath, Angus, Scotland had a birth certificate that said, Child: James Petrie, Mother: Mary Jarron; Father: "Alias" Petrie. This suggests that he was born an illegitimate child. With the help of Norma Thain who found his marriage certificate when he married Helen Wightman on 3 Sep 1890 after the death of his first wife, Jessie Sim on 17 Jul 1888, his father is listed as Alexander Petrie, master baker. Since I do not know which of the various Alexanders who appear in Arbroath records mine might be, I have a "stone wall" which prevents me from getting further back in my ancestry search. If you even knew he was a master baker, it would give me some hope that tracing his line back further had some change of legitimacy for my line. My mother was Mary Edna Petrie, born in Beverly, MA in 1905. Her father was James Petrie, b. 18 Feb 1867 in Arbroath. Since you show your Alexander Petrie having married Jane Sangster in 1833, he could be my gg grandfather in terms of date timing. With James being born in 1838, the period could fit.

I have been having problems with my email - my apologies for the recent TEST messages!! It was something to do with the type of text that I was using - Rootsweb told me to change it and I was trying to do that. Now I get 2 copies of each of the mails I send to this list - but not any others!! Never mind - I shall just delete one of each!! Bye for now Stephen .

It has been terrific to hear from you all, old friends and new. Our page has not been very active over the last few years maybe this will start us up again.

Hello all Petrie People I have had difficulty trying to send messages, so have just resubscribed to the list - in case I had been removed!! Just seen some messages about the site. I have noticed that the last files were from me - in January 2004. I cannot say too much, except that I am aware of a health issue with some people on this list. Maybe that is why the site is so quiet now? We are very busy with other things, but I am sending this as an appeal for any of you to say hello - if you are reading this. This applies especially to Norma and also to those known as "the Kirkmichael Petries" Heather and Hazel, come in please!! Hope to hear from you soon. Best wishes to you all.

I'm not exactly an orphan, I sort of know my family. I am looking for info and family of James PETRIE - born 1724 Forfar, Scotland. Married Margaret STALKER about 1759. Had the following children - John Petrie born 1760, married Jean HOGG. Thomas Petrie born about 1763. Janet Petrie, born about 1765, Hillhead, married John SKIRLING 1791 in Monikie. James Petrie, born about 1767, married Janet RAMAY 1803. Been a long time since I did anything on this line - might there be some relatives out there?

I keep getting messages! My Petrie was Elizabeth Petrie who married George Brown & came to (Ontario) Canada around 1830-40. On one of their children's marriage certificates in 1869, a witness is listed as being John B. Petrie. I would assume a relative (uncle or cousin). I have been told the family came from Inverness Scotland. Thanks! T'rah, Cynthia
