I would recommend a visit to the Gathering of the Clans website at www.discribe.ca/tartans They use to have a section entitled The Clan Finder. This may help. At worst it could not hurt since the site has loads of information regarding the clans and such. (Note: I have copied this message directly to her) Good searching, Doug Routh

-Hi Robert! Yes I believe we are connected! I have the same children listed for James and Janet with the addition of Sarah who was born 1838. According to the information I have Archibald was born in the states 1829. I don't believe James and Janet stayed in the states very long.. John was born c 1832 in Canada. I am curious to know how you know they went to the states first. Is this from research or from family history knowledge? Your marriage certificate could well be the correct one.. I was only taking a stab in the dark. According to family history Janet was married at about 19 years of age and I have her being born c 1807 as she died October 8, 1885 at age 78. There is a Francis Reid who is a descedant of James and Janet which would make the marriage certificate the more likely one. Ther certificate I have is a marriage between James Reid, joiner in Glasgow and Janet Reid residing there April 6, 1828. Would it be possible that this is another entry for the same marriage?? What does your certificate say? I would love to have what information you have. I would also like to know what information came from family stories etc.. I have searched endlessly on Scot's origin for the death of Janet's parent's as according to famiy tradition she was orphaned.. I thought that way I might establish parentage but can't find anything.. I don't really have a year for their death but did searches for Reid deaths over a period of time. The story was that James was a Scottish Laird in Edinburgh. However, it does state that Janet was raised by her grandmother in Glasgow.. It also says that James was trained a a civil engineer ( maybe this is an embellishment of joiner?) but had always wanted to come to America so his father gave him his share of the estate and let him go. It also says that he persuaded Janet to marry him and that they came over in a sailing vessel which took 3 months to cross the ocean and they settled near Lyndoch Ontario. Margaret Reid is my great-grandmother.. How do you fit in? This is so exciting!! I am in British Columbia, Canada by the way.

Dear Nancy, My mothers maiden name is EDGES. She comes from Grimsby and I have trouble finding any connections. Do you have variations of the EDGE name which originate from Lincs or Yorks? Best wishes, Michael.

Hi Janis, I saw your note on the web on Reid, I believe you are connected with my Reid's and your information that family history stating James is from Edinburgh is very interesting to me. I have been on Scots origin sight and also have their marriage certificate. My James Reid married Janet on April 9, 1828, in Duntocher, Scotland and immediately immigrated to the United States and continued on into Canada where he settled with his family. They had the following children: Archibald, John, James, Jessie, Robert, Margaret, and Euphemia. I would love to compare notes with you and I have a possibility of James' parents that I found on Scots origin but they are not from Edinburgh but Glasgow. They are Francis Reid and Ann Ogilvie. By the way I have corresponded with a Mr. Jackson from the Simcoe area of Canada who is into genealogy are you related? Looking forward to hearing from you. Robert Sterling Reid Burke, Virginia

Hello Scotland listers, It is time to introduce myself. I am a genealogy writer from Kansas City, Missouri, USA. I have learned that ancestors of mine emigrated from Scotland to Sweden in the 1600s and am trying to establish their places of origin. The Swedish genealogy book that lists them, names places in Scotland that I just cannot find. I think they may be places that no longer exist, or whose names have changed. I am hoping someone more familiar with Scottish history and geography than I can help me. I think that I have had a breakthrough with one that has had me stumped: Patrick BRUCE of Lymlyn (1500s). I have just recently discovered on the GENUKI pages that Limekilns, Fife was spelled Lymelylnes by some scribes in older times. The Bruce family does have a history there, so it looks like fruitful digging is ahead for me. Another stumper concerns the wife of Patrick BRUCE of Lymlyn, Maria FALCKONER of Halkerton. Where is Halkerton? Is/was that a town, an estate? In what parish and county? Can someone give me a clue as to where to look? A third stumper that I have been unable to solve is Welam NISBETH, "born 1596 in Scotland, descendant of the house of 'Rochell'." I cannot determine what is this Rochell. Is it a place, a family name, a manor. If so, where in Scotland? Is it a "creative spelling" that may be similar in sound to something extant today? Anyone with any ideas on this I would like to hear from you. Names I am researching in Scotland, all before 1650 are: BRUCE - FALCKONER - NISBET/NISBETH - GRAY - MUSCHAMP- EATON - SWINBURNE - LINDSAY - DOUGLAS Regards, Jeanne Nelson -- Author of ABSOLUTELY FAMILY!

You are close. Canada West = Upper Canada = Ontario. There are great Canadian sites and mail lists. Check Cyndi's List under Canada. http://www.cyndislist.com/ M.J. Jodoin, Seattle, WA, USA mjjodoin@webtv.net http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/5209/index.html

I can't speak to colloquial use, but in 1852 I have an ancestor who moved from Beckwith Co to Plympton Co which is just west of London. There was also Lambton Co, Middlesex Co and several others in the area. Most of (what is now) Ontario had pretty well established names down to the County level. Once you get West of there it seems to have been called a "District" of some sort or name (Saskatchewan was the District of Assiniboia, East and West). I can't prove it to you, but I would have thought of Canada West (at that time) as anything West of the Great Lakes. Since it is pre-Confederation, Ontario was called Lower Canada and Quebec was called Upper Canada. It's not unreasonable that anything West of Lower Canada was "Canada West". Don't treat this as fact, just Canadian school-boy learning. Regards - Glen C.

Hello, Aileen. A few years back my Aunt in Bellaghy, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland sent a pamphlet to me that contained a photograph of an Emily Dawson from Allan Bridge in Scotland. My Aunt wrote that the parents of the woman who gave her the pamphlet received a post card from Emily. Emily is standing in the doorway of a home with another woman. The postcard is dated 1910. Perhaps your Catherine and my Emily are related? The pamphlet was advertising the 3rd Magherafelt Festival of Women. Saturday 24th May 1997. Unfortunately, there is no address etc. for who produced the pamphlet.
