Hello all: Is anyone on this WATSON list searching in Scotland......that is where my interests are. Thank you Anne

Yes indeed Anne, most of my Watson ancestors seem to have been generated in quite a few towns & villages in Fife. For some reason there is more genealogical internet activity via the rootsweb place names such as SCT-FIFE-L@rootsweb.com for example. Do you know which area your John may have lived ?

My original ancestors were supposedly from Scotland as well. The first three to come over here landed in St Mary's Cty, MD. They were John, Joseph, and James (my link). Their parents were reportedly Joseph & Sarah Watson, and some have listed William Wattson as Joseph's father, though we have no proof. I also have Campbell lines back to Scotland, but have found no effective searching methods. My line for them is well documented, but proving that my recent ancestors are really of that line with more than census records & family stories has been difficult. Does anyone have a list of sources that included access to copies of birth records, or even land deeds?

" Is anyone on this WATSON list searching in Scotland......that is where my interests are." Yes Anne l am searching for Watsons in Scotland - Ayrshire. The earliest l can find are George Watson married Elizabeth Nelson 1829 in Leswalt, Wigtown and then they moved to Ayrshire where Mary, Elizabeth, Jane, George and Sarah were born in Largs, Wemyss Bay and Skelmorlie. Would love to make contact with descendents of any of these daughters. l am descended through George. Pam Atkinson New Zealand Subject: [WATSON] john watson born 1800 scotland
