United States of America / Re: Newlands Family from Olyphant Pensylvaina 1880/1900

I found another James Newland in S. Africa. There is also a Newland brewery outside of Cape Town and a town called Newlands with another brewery.

I guess we like our beers/ales.

I knew we had a clan chief and a tartan. We try to attend any Highland Games near us. When we lived in Texas there was one every June in Arlington (between Dallas and Fort Worth). It would draw over a 100,000 people over the weekend.

I like to fiand out more about where we came from. One of my cousins traced the maternal side (Boyer) back to the late 1500s in England and 1600s in Scotland.

That makes you my 2nd cousin twice removed I think.  I knew my grandfather had brothers, but not how many.

I've also come across our name in S Africa and Australia. I wonder if any of them are related.

Also there are Newlands on Linked-In that I've connected to.

Making my second post so I can email chat. Sandra: Yes the James Newlands buried in Nahant was my father. The 's' was added by the military when he was drafted before WWII. A lot of the PA relatives would come visit in the summer as we lived on the Ocean. We would also make the trip to Milford and Scranton once a year with a stop in Connecticut to visit relatives there.

I am the grandson of Francis and Bridgette Newlands thought their youngest son James. The Mary Newland mentioned was my aunt Mary (nee Gambo). She had 2 children (*) and (*). Both live in Scranton, PA.

As to the number of children of Francis and Bridgette, there were 9. Maria Smith (Milford PA), Elizabeth McKay (Elizabeth NJ), Kathleen Bird, Edward, William, Francis, Mathew, Hugh (died young) and James (my father). Any cousins living in the Orlando, FL area?
