Hello from the smallest state of the USA- Rhode Island,
I am wondering if someone would be so kind as to help me further trace my Scottish ancestors from Perth. Two years ago I was in Perth on my way to Aberdeen for my daughter's field hockey exchange program. Little did I know that I had ancestors from this beautiful area.
Specifically, I am looking for the ancestors of
1. MICHAEL NICHOLSON- b 30 Jan 1820 inDunbamey, Perth
2. ROBERT KEITH b 19 December 1800 in Caputh (sp??), Perth
and
3. HENRIETTA HAGGART, Robert's wife, (I think- looks like she liked younger men!!) who was b 9 Aug 1778in Lethendy and Kinloch, Perth. She may not be his wife, now that I look at this closer. Their daughter, MATILDA KEITH was b in 1816 in Barry, Angus.
Thanks in advance for any help. I certainly appreciate any time someone is kind enough to help with this never ending research.
Sincerely,
Beverly
