A lady from Aberdeen has contacted me about the Gathering and I have sent details to her. This is due to the fact that the details have now been publicised in the journal of the Aberdeen and North East Scotland Family History Society. We may have more enquiries as a result of this half page free advert!! One has already e-mailed me and the details that Norma provided some time ago have been sent to her this evening. Norma - you may get some enquiries as well, because your name is on the article that I wrote :0) My first correspondent does not have e-mail, so I am giving some details below and ask that anyone on the list who is researching her family line will contact me. I shall then send the lady's name and address "off list" if you wish to make contact. The lady is descended from JEANNIE PETRIE born 1849, Inverness, died 1925, Elgin, whose parents were THOMAS PETRIE and CHRISTINA TUACH. This couple married on 24 May 1847, Inverness. (This is confirmed from Norma's data base) If anyone is interested, please let me know. I should like to help her, as she has - by pure coincidence - been able to provide me with some information about my own Aberdeen ancestors (not Petrie, but SMITH!!) We have been rather quiet lately, but hope to see many of you in Dundee this August. Cheerio, from Stephen and Karen (Kirkmichael Petries!!) Researching the following names in Scotland:- DONALD; MOLLISON; SMITH; STRACHAN - Aberbeenshire RUTHERFORD - Roxburghshire ELMESLEY; GLASHAN - Banffshire COLLIE; KELLY; SPENCE - Morayshire BRODIE; FORBES; GOW; PETRIE - Perthshire
