Hello Norma, What a lovely surprise to receive your email with the transcription of Elizabeth Alexander's death certificate and other related information.I certainly never expected to find Elizabeth still alive in 1855. What luck! Interestingly enough, Elizabeth's grandaughter Mary Thomson (b22nd Sept.1819 at Montrose) married a David Addison, so it looks like we now have two connections with the Addison line. I didn't know about Elizabeth and Alexander's son and daughter marrying their 1st cousins. Thank you for that info. For your records, the children of Alexander Alexander and Elizabeth Petrie are as follows; Alexander c 26th Aug 1789 at Maryton Jean(Jane) c 8th Dec 1791 at Maryton Mary c 2nd Nov 1792 at Lunan Elizabeth c 7th Feb 1795 at Lunan Robert c 16th Mar 1797 at Lunan Ann c 1799 ( new information to me ) I have heard from Fred Sullivan but not from Marge or Gayle as yet. As this "mailing list" way of family history research is all very new to me, I hope that I am going about it the right way. Just one final question Norma, if you'll bear with me. In your original email on 7th June, what did you mean by "I shall be pleased to send on an invitation and password for you to access our private Petrie of Scotland website"? Many, many thanks for your help.

Hello Carolyn, As a Thank you for recently sharing details of your Petrie connections with us all on the Petrie-Scotland Mailing List, I sent out an invitation and password for you to access our private Petrie-Scotland Website. We use the website to compliment our Mailing List and as another Petrie research tool. It's especially useful since this Mailing List cannot accept file attachments and we find the website is a nice private place where we can view and share our Petrie family photographs, family tree's, research data etc. We are especially pleased with the variety of information we hold within our website Filing Cabinet, where we have gathered a variety of Petrie research material that may prove useful to one and all. Our photograph albums are also great fun for looking for those Family resemblance's !! :o) We even have our own Chat Room along with many other facilities.... However, I just received an error message back from the website....I had sent your invitation out to you, but got your e.mail address wrong...so it has just bounced right back to me, I'll go off now and try again and promise to get it right this time !! :o) You said ...... >As this "mailing list" way of family history research is all >very new to me, I hope that I am going about it the right >way..... You are doing just great Carolyn, all enquiries and replies through the list, are very much appreciated and keep the list busy and interesting for us all... :o) Cheerio the noo Norma ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carolyn Bennett" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2001 5:44 AM Subject: [Petrie-Scotland] Norma Thain - Re: Petrie/Alexander <snip> >Just one final question Norma, if you'll bear with me.
