Melissa I see you have posted on another board re: David and Sophia. Are there others on your list that you believe were not born in Australia, or who didn't come to Australia?

"David and Elizabeth who where married in Kerang on the 13th of April 1885 or 1886."
I couldn't find the above on the VicBDM site, but someone else may be able to locate it.

Melissa, I think what you need to do is list who you know was in Victoria.
The other folk you can post questions on the relevant Scottish boards.
Do you know the year the first McKeddie came to Australia? Was it the one who married in NSW.

If you require copies of BDM certificates then you will need to purchase them from the State in which they were registered.

Hi Melissa, I didn't hear back from you on this, and I have dna matches to the Renfrew McKeddie's and am trying to follow the connection to the Australia McKeddie's. My McKeddie tree is pretty extensive and I'm very happy to help you fill in the blanks on your side if you are interested in working together on this. I would also be very interested in checking our dna to see if we have matches there....
Looking forward to hearing from you!
