Rex J Hotchkiss Jr. in Antioch, California, USA at 18:43:39 Monday December 29 2003
My grandfather, James A Hotchkiss did a great deal of geneological work, which I promised to continue after his death, taking home some 14 book boxes filled with hand written records. I have so far transfered information on some 6000+ individuals to computer format, making barely a dent in his records. While he was still alive I had helped him by tracing Our Hotchkiss line from Scotland back to Shropshire, England. Most of the Hothckiss family in the Carronshore area came, as a large group, to Bilingame, Kansas, in the late 1800's.

David Douglas in North Jutland, Denmark. at 21:43:24 Sunday November 9 2003
Thnaks for a very useful site. I'm putting together a GEDCOM file of ancestors and descendants of James Bruce of Kinnaird ('Bruce of the Nile') from the various, sometimes conflicting, sources I can find on the internet. My mother's family has always maintained that we were related to him; I've traced back to a Mary Bruce whom married a farmer, James Thomson and had at least 4 children in about 1800-1820, and am stuck there. Any information you might have would be appreciated. Are James Bruce's children buried in Larbert? I'd be very interested if you could publish photos of the headstones on your site. Also, there was a cast iron monument to his wife and first son (both predeceased him). Rabbie Burns apparently made some snide commment about it during his tour of the Highlands. Does it still exist? best wishes David Douglas (from Renfrew, living in Denmark for 20 years)

My father, Neil Andrew Thomson, was 4 years old when the immigrated to canada, but we have a lot of family in scotland, but we do not know any of them.

Marian Ariyaratnam in Coventry - not as beautiful as Lismore! at 20:38:07 Thursday October 30 2003
Hector Macpherson was my uncle. When he was the minister on Lismore, I spent many a happy & idyllic holiday on the Island, & even attended the school there. The things I remember most about Lismore were the beautiful people, their amazing hospitality, and the fantastic scenery. I had the good fortune to spend a too short afternoon on the north end of the Island in 1998.It is one of the most peaceful places in the world, & I feel that it's even more spiritual than Iona! I think my Uncle was well loved & respected during his time of service to the folks on Lismore

Nancy Teague-Horner in St. Petersburg, Florida at 18:22:48 Saturday October 18 2003
I happened upon this site as a result of research for a story idea. I know a Bob Costello who lives in Auchterhouse by Dundee whose grandfather was a Hannon and grandmother was a Comrie, from Comrie near Crieff. Bob's grandmother would have been old enough to have been a young child of John Comrie who died in this explosion. Interesting the nearness of this explosion at Denny to the town of Comrie, where Mr. Costello's grandmother came from. Following the death of John Comrie, could Mrs. John Comrie with her young child have returned to their hometown where the daughter was to grow up and later to become the grandmother of my friend following a liaison with a Hannon. The liaison between Hannon and Comrie, which didn't result in marriage, produced a son who was to receive the name Costello-my friend's last name. I'm not sure how that came to be unless the mother later married a Costello who gave the illegitimate son his name or could the Comrie daughter's mother have been a Costello before she married John Comrie? Lots of unanswered questions and the friend doesn't have much of a history of his family to rely on. Thanks for the idea provoking story. Nancy Teague-Horner

My mother was Cecilia Mary O'Grady. Her father was Walter Standish O'Grady who was born in 1880, Gympie, Queensland, Australia. His father was William O'Grady, who came out to Australia sometime before 1878 - he was born in Castlegarde, Cappamore, Ireland in 1847. His father's name was Walter. I'm trying to find the direct line of my family. I have been told it's when Standish O'Grady married Katherine Waller - but I have some gaps in my family tree. Hope this helps cheers Carmel

This has been a very interesting site. I did come across a note from a Alison Ulrich, of Medfield, Mass. Sh had several names in the Stirling area and I am interested in the Paton's in the Alva area. My father was born in the Alva area in 1906, his parents were born also in that area between 1881 and 1884. There names were Alexander Paton,Sr. and Jessie Tainsh Paton. They left Scotland in 1911 from Glasgow aboard a ship called the Furnessia and arrived in the U.S. May 1, 1911. They settled in the coal regions of Pennsylvania as that was Srs. work in Scotland. I am looking for any information on these relatives as far as there family and ancestors are concerned. I have been hitting blank walls as far as looking into the Scottish sites. I am hoping someone will read this and be of some relatio or know someone that is related. Thank You, Sandra E.Paton Hill

Is the Tom Paterson of TAVISTOCK still looking at this site? I saw on the guestbook that he's interested in the history of some Patersons in Leith, as am I. Maybe we could share some info that could be of use to both of us? At the moment I'm hoping that you can help me with a brick wall I've hit in my research. I'm currently struggling to find the parents and siblings of a Robert Paterson (my great great great grandfather) born in the late 1700s in Leith (probably North Leith, but maybe St Cuthbert's parish). Do you think our trees might by any chance link up? Robert was a "decorative painter" (I think that means artist, as unless he was into smuggling or something, his assets at the time of his death were too great for him to have been a house painter!). He married Margaret Borthwick 1813, died 1827, his children were Robert (an M.D), Jane, John Borthwick, David Anderson and Margaret Chalmers, born between 1814 and 1823. His father was also a Robert (1725-1811 I'm told, but I can't find him on Scotland's People, or on the C of the LDS site), and he's said to have an older brother called John. Jane quite likely married a Charles Cox/Cock (in 1837) and/or a John Deas (1850). David Anderson married Barbara Smith Harper (in 1851), and Margaret Chalmers seems to have married David Henderson Robertson in 1848. Do any of these people match up with the people you know of? Please can you help me to find Robert the Painter's parents and siblings? I hope someone can help me. Many thanks in advance.

Hi there! I found your website while looking for some of my ancestors. My maiden name is Binning, and my Grandfather (James Binning), was born in Scotland in 1890. According to my father, he was born in Glasgow, but I've learned that that isn't very specific. Anyway, I would be interested in finding more records that could lead me to some living relatives. According to my Grandfather's death certificate, his parents names were Alexander Thomson Binning and Helen Logan. We believe that Alexander Binning was married a second time, but we do not know if Helen Logan died or left, etc.. If you find any information that could be of use to me, I would appreciate it if you would send it to me via email. Thank you so much for any help you can provide, Lori (Binning) Hendges

Peter Julian Wilkinson in I live in Melbourne, Australia, where most of the relatives of my generation live. I am 66 years of age, being born in Melbourne in 1937. at 05:17:57 Saturday April 26 2003
Dear Tom, Thank you for all the work you have done one the de Courcy orgins. I am descended from an Eliza(beth) Ann de Courcy, who was born in May 1929 at Bandon, West Cork, Ireland, to [William] Edward de Courcy and Ellen (Eileen?) Sexton. Eliza(beth) migrated to Australia on the SS Constantine around 1852-3 and later married William Edward Becker. Since then, every generation has retained the name de Courcy in the names of the male children. Eg my brother is John de Courcy Wilkinson. There has also been a retained family interest in Castle Carrickfergus on Belfast Lough in Co. Antrim, which was the first Earl's castle in Leinster after he had defeated the Irish king there.

Dear Tom Thank you so much for your wonderful site, particularly the 1881 Stirlingshire Census. My forebears (Bartholomews) were from Stirlingshire, particularly the parishes of Muiravonside and Polmont. In the 1851 Census there were 33 Bartholomews, all related,(including my ggggrandmother and some of her children) recorded as living in the Parish of Muiravonside. Thirty years later only only two! Out of her family of nine at least six migrated to Australia, New Zealand and the USA. Once again Thank you Blair Bartholomew
