I have had several inquiries re: searching on Scots Origins "http://www.origins.net/GRO/". The main problem I see (in some not being able to find their person) is the spellings as they appear in the records. The following are some of the commonly seen spellings in records I have downloaded today. You can see that most are phonetically spelled. Bill Caddell Listowner, SCT-INVERNESS 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

Hello all BELL descendants! I am a descendant of John BELL born abt 1682 in Monimail, FIF, SCT. My quest is to find any BELL or descendant that may be associated with this person. I have at least two of the lines descending from him and would very much like to trace as many as possible as I am constructing a database that may be of help to others who are likewise interested. Who knows we may be related or at least know something of use to others. John married Janet Muckers on 12 December 1701, in Monimail and had at least three children: Katherine, b. 1702 Mathew, b. 1704 Andrew, b. 1705. Andrew (my ancestral line), moved to Airdrie, LKS, SCT and had at least 5 children. Some of whom migrated to Canada, and my line remained in Scotland ultimately coming to New Zealand in 1849 as the Purdie line. Any help to build this database, would be appreciated. Dell (C. Lansdell PURDIE) Rotorua NZ [email protected] Dell

We are having a cub scout banquet involving our heritage. Each of the boys is supposed to bring a dessert from a country where an ancestor is born. Would anybody have a good dessert recipe from Scotland? I never thought about it in all my gen. research. There's a lot I still don't know about my ancestors. Learning everyday. Thanks, redfox

Thanks everybody for the information. We think we've found our Ann but aren't certain. We think she is the one at Briscowhill Farm, Longtown at the time of the 1851 census. We have searched Carlisle Records Office and Library for records of Ann's birth, baptism and marriage but with little success. If the Briscowhill Ann is the right one, we have found a marriage between William BEATY and Jane TAYLOR at Arthuret Church on 1st December 1830 which ties in with the 1851 census. Hopefully they are our Ann's parents but we can't be sure. Any ideas as to how we could verify this would be gratefully appreciated. Anne & Deryck Collier (Fife, Scotland)

Looking for David PETRIE and his wife Janet nee????? If anyone is looking at any Fife 1841 and /or 1851 census records and comes across any PETRIE's I would be truly grateful if they could jot them down. I have no idea how old they would have been in 1841 but their daughter May / Margery would have been 13. The only places I know they were is Newburgh in 1828 when May / Margery was born and Auchtermuchty November 1850 when she was married. Annette in Dubbo NSW

Dear List Several ancestors moved from Scotland to become planters in Jamaica, during 1700's mostly. Could someone please advise how one can conduct research in Jamaica? Is there a web site or Mailing list? Many thanks Lori Australia

You'll need to be careful about copyright on any content not written yourself, but there are good links around. I have a couple on my Scottish Resource page. http://www.geocities.com/mjjodoin/resct.htm. There are good ones associated with the movie Braveheart (use a search engine); also the website for The History Channel has some good links. Electric Scotland has a history search engine and good articles.

The DL or SL in a birth entry means "daughter legal or legitimate" or "son legal.." I've never seen exclamation points. It might just be a "ditto" mark.

I should like to thank all those who responded to my query re Scots origins. It appears that it is best to enter only minimal information, make use of the soundex and wildcards*, and be very careful ticking the boxes. I shall give it another try. Thanks. Christine

We are looking for confirmation and date of marriage between Thomas MOSS (born Shap, Westmorland) and Ann BEATY (born Arthuret, Longtown, Cumberland around 1835-36) some time between 1852 and 1862. Thomas MOSS was born around 1834. If we can confirm the marriage we can hopefully obtain the marriage certificate and learn their fathers' names. Hoping some kind person can help. Anne and Deryck Collier

I would appreciate suggestions about how to find birth and parentage information for Daniel McGuire who was born abt. 1845-1848 in Ayrshire. He was reared and educated there before emmigrating to the States (New York) about age 20. I also would be grateful for a look up in the Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants to USA to see if he is mentioned. Thanks! Wendy
