Hello Catherine Oh dear Catherine...for a minute there I thought I had had a major time lapse.... ....and the builders did seem to take forever to complete the renovations ....but I think that it was 2003 when you visited.... ;o) I do remember your visit with your husband, it was very nice to meet you both and we spent a lovely afternoon chatting about our potential family links...your Janet Stirling (nee Petrie) was the 1st death recorded in the 1855 records for Panbride Parish....and I have still yet to find any firm evidence to prove that my gt gt gt gt grandfather Thomas Petrie was the son of James Petrie & Margaret Stalker of Monikie....and if only I could, we would be related !!! I have been off-line for a long time too.... so it's wonderful to catch up with everyone. I will be delighted to send you a link & password for access to the Petrie-Scotland Website. I will organise that now and it will come in a seperate e.mail direct from the website via My Family.com.... bibi norma ----- Original Message ----- From: "Catherine Stirling-Gould" <cstirlinggould@earthlink.net> To: "Norma Thain" <norma.thain@balgavies.demon.co.uk> Cc: <petrie-scotland@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 24, 2006 11:53 PM Subject: another Petrie request > Hi Norma: > I visited you in 1999 or so, when I was in the UK with my husband who is > from Dorset.
