New Zealand Completed Requests / Auchterlonies
« on: Monday 27 August 12 11:17 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I am currently researching the Auchterlonies. I have got back to 1733 using only direct link father grandfather great grandfather and so on. As i am an Auchterlonjie my lot to so far have been connected to farming and mainly in the north east of Fife and into east Perthshire. The name itself appears to be a mix of picto norman as an Auchterlonie [different spelling] did sign the ragmans roll which contains most of the prominent names in Scotland at the time and was not an act of treachery as depicted in that very good but historically incorrect film made by Mel Gibson. From what i can gather Edward was asked by the Scottish nobility to help choose the next king after the death of Margaret as there were two contenders. He required the Scottish nobility to sign the act of fealty because he was concerned that who ever he picked would upset the other and they might do dastardly deeds against him. The places my lot have lived at are Lucklaw hill - Peace hill - Rhynd - Kinclaven - Abernethy - Redhills - and my self in Ardargie. If i can be of any help to any of the Auchterlonies researching the name please do not hesitate to contact me.
