Its a very common name in Ireland, mostly Ulster(Scottish plantation of North). It's either of Scottish or English origin. Hutch is the pet name for hugh. Good luck.... ----> Thomas O. Myles Baltimore, MD USA

A friend out there in cyberspace noted that I was searching for the parents of Janet Little who m Andrew Turnbull in Langholm, Dumfries in 1795. She sent me a copy of what she got from the IGI, listing 25 Turnbull names. When I tried to duplicate this, I got only 4 Andrew Turnbulls and about 15 web sites to try. Anyone have any idea why this sort of thing happens? I tried both the Ancestry and IGI tabs, but my results were far short of hers. Lucille Richmond

1. Judy wrote here and got lotsa replies..... > I don't remember seeing a B for birth, only C for Christening and M for > marriage. I still can't figure out what the F is for. Using the IGI can be so exciting that we may forget to read the column headings, and Instructions. A fiche numbered IGI 20001 provides the clues. It is suppplied with each fiche set. F and M are for female, male C is christening, B is birth FR is Frame Number and is commonly seen in the OPR Index but NOT on the IGI. On fiche, the OPR <looks> like the IGI but it ain't ;~) ============================= 2. Lucille queried the long message footer used on an email from Toni I think.

I went to Office Depot (office supplies store in US) this morning. I experimented with the copy machine to get the best copies of old photos of Scotland from the library book I mentioned last week. I got some fairly decent copies, but nothing spectacular. The assistant manager saw what I was doing, and offered to try one on the laser copier. WOW!! She enlarged all copies (straight from the book) to 9" X 12" on the laser copier, and what a difference. The pictures look almost 3-D. I can see faces at windows! I highly recommend the laser printer. I intend to return with some old photos, and see how they enlarge. Regular copies cost 5 cents each, and the laser copy costs 99 cents. Eileen Herkes

I want to thank all the listers who answered my query about the F in IGI. Now that I look back at what I was searching, that makes sense. Thanks again. Cheers, Judy

Does anyone know how I can verify a story that there were 7 Teesdale brothers who served in the Black Watch?? I have no dates but would assume it was before 1900. Thank you Don Teesdale

OK, Toni, maybe I'll get an answer for you.

It means "Frame" which is the relevant page number on the film that you can rent thru the FHC. When that little F is there, it means there is more info on that page, however, beware, it may be very little, such as occupation, or a note that Mary Jones was daughter of John Jones or something similar.

I see that you've had a good reply from dick barr. Some of us would like to know the County/ Parish. And the Film Number too. My nickname as a toddler was SKEOCK! I'd like to have some background, enquiry to Gaelic speakers has no resolved the mystery for me..... Cheers......... -- ALISTAIR M. CAMERON, also known as ALEC or SKOOK

I am hoping someone will be able to give me some insight into something I came across while searching for my Anderson ancestors in the LDS IGI site. I found a record for a John Anderson and Margaret Skeock who were married in 1829. When I used the Film Number in that record with their names in order to try and find their children, it came up with 11 children, one listed with the day, month and year of birth, and the other ten all listed as being born in 1841! Something seems to be a bit peculiar here, unless they somehow managed to produce 2 sets of quintuplets in one year! ;o) Any thoughts on this?? Pat
