Fife / Re: Help please
« on: Monday 12 November 12 23:16 GMT (UK)  »
I will post more of my research as soon as I can get my other computer working. The Painters came from Newburgh, Fife which is more towards the coast rather than the howe of Fife. There was an abbey in this area - Lindores Abbey which may be where the Peter Painter mentioned may have lived. The distance between Muchty and Newburgh is not far. Likewise Dunshelt is a few minutes away. Betsy is a common Fife name and is popular in this family. When I lived in this area I did visit the local cemeteries. My Great Grandmother was Jane Oliphant Painter Anderson. Her mother was Jane Oliphant Painter. More details to follow.

Hello Steven, I believe we are distantly related. I am a relative of Jane Oliphant Painter Anderson from 'Muchty. I can remember my granny telling me about Dave and Elsie Painter who went to S Africa. I am happy to pass on info about the Painters although it gets pretty patchy when you get to Catherine Burt & David Painter. I do have a relative from this part of the family who still lives in Auchtermuchty. I also have a few photos.
