Hi John, As far as possible communication should be though the list. However if the subject becomes personal, involves living people (apart from yourselves), or becomes extremely esoteric please do communicate directly. As a general rule communication should be through the list so that others who may be interested in the same subject can either help you, or be helprd by you.

I have a birth certificate for Samuel Paterson, son of John Paterson, Plasterer (journeyman) and Agnes Paterson (m.s. Shiels) from 1862 for Samuel's birth in the District of Ladhope, County of Roxburgh, signed by Adam Dunbar, Registrar Witness. I am hoping that someone might be able to direct me to where I might make contact using this information that would lead me to finding more information on this family, Church records, etc. I have no idea where John or Agnes were born or who their parents are, or when they died. I think they were protestant but do not know for sure. Thanks for any help that can be offered. Pam Hawkins Mason, Michigan U.S.A.

Roy, The picture is still not clear to me. How do we communicate with other members on the list ? Can it be direct, or does it have to be via the web site in order that other members can see the communication?. Congratulations regarding the list, running the web site must be full time job. John Dunn Goulburn NSW Australia

Marion, Thanks for the MI`s. I would be interested in all the Douglas names if at all possible. Thank you so much. Nan nancy-scholz@webtv.net Nan@webtv.net

I second that, Roy. How about Newcastleton while he's at it? Although it may be just those that pertain to his line. jld

Hi Peggy, The numbers are entirely arbitrary, they're simply a reference. For example your 'Scott's are R684 and if you were enquiring about my 'Scott's on the SCT-MIDDLE-MARCHES list the reference would be M32. Each reference is, or should be, unique. Hope this helps.

Hi Judy, To everyone their due. Whilst the maps were originally provided by me, the credit really goes to Kurt Laidlaw who offered to put them on his website, and then did it. So far as the photo's go, they are entirely Kurt's work, and excellent they are too. Regards Roy P.S. Hey, Kurt are we going to get Castleton on there sometime soon?

I asked for BEATTIE late 18th century/early 19th century in Kirndean. My entry reads 1850 to 1950. Could you please change to 1750 to 1850 !!!!!!!

Thanks, Roy. Great maps. I always thought the Debatable Lands ran east and west across the Borders. But I see it is north and south on the eastern edge of the West March. It will help clarify things. When I've read about the marches, it was confusing because the sides in Scotland and England were described as being in opposite direction. And the photos are very nice also. jld
