Hi Marilyn Noticed your Otterson name - one of my Tyrone family lines descends from an Otterson - not my direct ancestors but linked! My great-grandmother's sister Annie Ferguson born Loughry, Tyrone (near Cookstown) 14/6/1855, married John Brisbin, born 2/8/1852, place unknown but probably around the same area, as they were married in Tyrone, and Annie's father at that time was head coachman at Loughry Estate then owned by the Lindesay family, now a campus of the Uni of Belfast. John was the son of James Brisbin (born 1820) and Martha Otterson (born 1820). This information was sourced from the Notes of the Congregation of the 3rd Cookstown Presbyterian Church by the Rev John Knox Leslie (1842)- James Brisbane 1820 married 26 April 1844, Martha Otterson, 1825. Martha's father was John Otterson. James' parents were William Brisbin and Ann Little. John and Annie emigrated to Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia on the Scottish Lassie in 1879. Let me know if you are interested in this family - it is a large one and I haven't completed it but I do have the first few generations in Queensland. Cheers Sandra Hass Nee Crossan - researching in Tyrone: Ferguson, Farr, Brisbin, Otterson; in Derry: Crossan, Reid, Sloan; in Antrim: McClelland, McCullagh, Boyd. -----Original Message----- From: scotch-irish-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:scotch-irish-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of scotch-irish-request@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, 8 November 2011 6:01 PM To: scotch-irish@rootsweb.com Subject: SCOTCH-IRISH Digest, Vol 6, Issue 251 Today's Topics: 1.

Now I see McKoy and McKay and now I am interested. I never pass up a chance to ask this group questions and now I am wondering a bit what is going on. Anyway....Armstrong, McCoy (or sometimes McKay), Milligan and Field from Co. Tyrone. If anybody sees those names, I'd love to know about it.

Hi, Sandra, Alas, my husband's father was from Norwegian/Swedish folks. His last name is Norwegian...you know, one of the names that changes every generation as you research back over the years when people took their name from the father's first name...so, for instance, Sven Johnsen's son Harold would be Harold Svensen. This makes researching genealogy in Scandinavia pretty difficult, at least some of the time. About 10 years ago we were in No. Ireland and looking for grave markers near Ballymena, Antrim. The custodian of one of the cemeteries looked so much like my husband's dad that it was amazing...but we didn't mention it until we have left there, each of us thinking the other didn't notice. Now I wish we had a chance to ask the fellow if he had any Norwegian ancestors. There are a good number of Irish Ottersons, too, so guess some Vikings must have left a few descendants there long ago.
