Hi Norma While trying to get my PETRIE info into some kind of order and updated the following marriage caught my eye - Hellen Petrie c.30 Sep 1801 (parents John Petrie & Betsy Robertson) to Donald Petrie b.3 Jan 1799 (parents Alexander Petrie & Annie Robertson) on 8 May 1825. If I have the correct Hellen and Donald, then John and Alexander are not likely to be brothers as that would make H & D 1st cousins. But, if John and Alexander were cousins then H & D would be 2nd cousins. Could you check the marriage for me and see if anything is mentioned. Thanks Hazel
