Author: kbhoy1 Surnames: Allen, Hamilton Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.scotland.general/21620/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am new to searching in Scotland, and am looking for help, either with a look up or direction on how to find an ancestor. Anna Belle Allen is the daughter of Jane Hamilton Allen and William Allen. Sometimes Annabelle appears as one word, sometimes two. I believe her father, William was from Northern Ireland, and Jane from Scotland, although the records are not clear. Their daughter was born 27 March, 1869, at least according to her death certificate. Does anyone have the ability to search for a Scottish birth record? How does one look for Scottish records in that time period? Thanks, Karen Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
