For those who have been trying to access my KinHelp website <www.kinhelp.co.uk> for any of the Oldnews snippets, or the indexes to old Scottish historical resource books, or my research service, I apologise. The server was upgraded to a new Operating System, but for some reason the software developed a fault. This resulted in the system crashing between 5 and 60 minutes after a reset, and expert checks have failed to establish the cause. More time will be needed to sort it out. In the meantime, the website pages are to be transferred to a backup server, using the old O.S., to restore KinHelp in the interim. Once the new system is proved to be working o.k., then KinHelp will be transferred back to the newer server. So, hopefully KinHelp will be available from either today or tomorrow! News update: I am producing a new index to the Spalding Club volume "Extracts from the Presbytery Book of Strathbogie, 1631-1654", published 1843. The index in the published book manages to omit all the "ordinary" people, so the new index should rectify this. Expect it to appear in a couple of weeks or so.

My gggrandfather, John SOMMERVILLE, immigrated with and in two years of immigration, married Janet ARMSTRONG in Troy, New York. Both of them came from Scitland. In tracking her back I came across a Janet ARMSTRONG born on May 9, 1813. Up to this point have been going off census records and ships passenger list to guess her birthdate in 1814. The birth OPR's show she was born in parish of Tynron in county Dumfries. My gggrandfather was from parisn Carnwath in Lanark. Is this close enough? I knoww that in general people did not travel to far from home to be married, but I think this is fairly close.Her parents are listed as Robert ARMSTRONG and Agnes DUNN. The Scottish naming convention would be correct in this case. Does this sound faniliar to anyone? Bob Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
