The Lighter Side / Re: Becoming too invested in one ancestor?
« on: Saturday 19 May 18 16:17 BST (UK)  »
Definitely YES!  My mission was to identify my great grandmother, who, it became evident, was my adoptive GGM. Her own heritage was misidentified in the documents at hand. Thinking them true, I stubbornly sought her out, for far too long. Moving on to other relatives as proxy, I found the biological side of things (maybe: no DNA) to finish my book Double Genealogy: the Adoption Witness.

Adoptive GGM's past actually emerged late in the research, but there are many who will remain hidden in the past, who can be well hinted by the study of those around them.

Thanks, Lodger, this is very helpful. It is actually what I remember seeing, and was mistaken about reference to the John Cairns, who died in 1876, on the stone.  I’m afraid I have no documentation on the other individuals you ask about.

Thanks for such a quick reply, Lodger.  Sorry I wasn't more precise. It was for John Cairns 1823-1876 whose parents were Adam Cairns d1835 and Janet Paterson 1798?-1876.  All deaths were in Cambusnethan

Thank you!

Hi Lodger,
This is my first post.  It is truly wonderful information that you give us. 
I think I saw the monument for John Cairns d1876 some time ago.
May I have a copy? Will hit "post" and hope for the best.  :)
