Am looking for information on the following: CLARK, John. Living at 84 Clifford Street, Glasgow, SW1 on 26.7.1947, according to a newspaper cutting about his uncle (Frank Grieve JACKSON)'s cremation on that day. CLARK, Christine/Christina (John's mother) born Christina JACKSON in Kilbarchan 1865 - sister to Frank JACKSON. CRAWFORD, Catherine living at 8 Broad St Campletown, Argyll in 1881 census aged 40. I am interested in her dead husband's family. Are they related to Isabella CRAWFORD, born 1790s, who married a Robert JACKSON in 1818. Frank was Isabella and Robert's grandson. Liz

Just a note to researchers on Scots Origins (SO). I sent a msg recently concerning what I'd found in my downloads from SO. Out of 3,000 names I've downloaded, generally, I noted only about 10 % were spelled correctly. Most were phonetically spelled, some spellings were much different than I expected. Some examples are: SURNAME......As Spelled in Scots Origin (OPR) records AIKEN........AIKINE ANDERSON.....ANDERSOUNE BLACK........BLAK BOSWELL......BOSUELL BROWN........BROUNE BRYSON.......BRYSSON BUCHAN.......BUCKUM CRAWFORD.....CRAWFURD DIXON........DICKSOUNE DOUGLAS......DOWGLASE, DUGLASSE FERGUSON.....FERGUESONE FRIZELL......FRYSELL GARNER.......GAIRNER GIBSON.......GIBBISONE GORDON.......GORDOUN GREEN........GREIN GREENLAW.....GREINLAW HALIBURTON...HALYBRUITOUN HENDERSON....HENRYSONE JOHNSTON.....JONSTONE LYNCH........LEITCH MILLER.......MILLAR NICHOLSON....NICCOLSONE PATTON.......PATOUN, PATAN, PATONE RALSTON......RALSTOUN REED.........REID, RID ROBERTSON....ROBERTSOUNE SADLER.......SAIDLER SHAW.........SCHAW SHELL........SCHEILL SIMPSON......SIMSOUN, SYMPSONE, SYMSON STEVENSON....STIVENSONE, STEVINSONE MCGREGOR.....MCKGRIGOR, MCKGRIGGER TAYLOR.......TAILYOUR THOMPSON.....TOMPSONE TURNER.......TURNOR WATSON.......WATSOUNE Forename.....Scots Origin AGNES........AGNASE ALLISON......ALISONE, AILISONE ANDREW.......ANDRO, ANDROW ARCHIBALD....AIRCHBALD BARBARA......BARBRIE CHRISTIAN....CHRISTEANE DAVID........DAUID HARRY........HAERIE, HERIE HENRY........HENDRIE JANET........JENAT, JONATT, JANNAT JOHN.........JHONE, JOHNNE, JON KATHRINE.....KATREIN MARGARET.....MARGRIT MARION.......MARIONNE, MARYON MICHAEL......MYCHAELL OLIVER.......OLIVEIR, OLIPHER REBECCA......REBECKA RICHARD......RITCHART, RECHART THOMAS.......TOMAS VIOLET.......VYLOT WILLIAM......WILLIANE, WILYIAM When I actually looked at the records, I am finding MANY data input errors for the OPR.

Hello, I just received the death certificate I've been anxiously waiting for on JOHN MCALISTER (1841-1924) and it lists his birthplace as Paisley, Scotland. The writing is very difficult to read. So, my question....can anyone verify that there is a Paisley, or something similar to that in Scotland.

Does anyone trace their Ross roots to the USA? My Rosses ended up in Minnesota, probably by the mid to late 1800's. They may have lived in Missouri and/or illinois prior to that. I don't have the parents' names. Children: Martha (my ancestor,born in a covered wagon enroute to Minnesota) Emma and Charles or Charley. Though I know they lived here, I've yet to find them in Minnesota records, except Emma who is buried at Union Cemetery in Inver Grove Heights with her husband, Christopher Carli Brown. Martha married George Shingledecker or Shingledeker. Charley, unknown. Aird, Almquist , Authier, Bouchard, Brown, Campbell, Doherty, Erno, Hofbauer, Hovland, LaPointe, LaRocque, McCollum, Mooers, Payer, Robertson, Ross, Schoolcraft, Shingledecker, Ullmann; Chiefs Wabasha, Mamongazida & Waubojeeg.

The most likely place for there to be records would be in the main city / local council archive for wherever you are talking about. The relevant GENUKI page(www.genuki.org.uk) should give you an address.
