Iain and John don't look or sound alike!

Scotland / Iain/John interchangeable
« on: Yesterday at 17:07 »
I believe Iain and John are interchangeable, particularly in Scotland.
Does anyone know why?
Are there other names that are interchangeable?

Hi Trish,
I'm confused.
Scotland's People 1851 census one has one James Doy aged 71 from Kirkcudbright and only one James Doy born at all in Scotland, 1724 Kennoway. That's not even the same person.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.

There is a George Doig listed in the 'Scotland, National Probate Index (Calendar of Confirmations and Inventories), 1876-1936' in 1903 (there's also one for 1904). Is anyone able to confirm if the death place is Forfar and the death date?
Thanks
Al

Apologies for taking so long to respond.
I agree with all the findings apart from a couple in #9 but I'm still learning and happy to be taught.
"On F/S she also had 2 daughters after John Doig died Agnes and Susan (from memory Agnes died early)"
I agree with Agnes as she was born in South St, Forfar, but Susan was born in Dundee. Is the fact that Flora Doig is an unusual name, enough to assume it's the same person? Flora is still listed in 1871 Forfar census.
"1851 the Family is under DOY on Ancestry"
There are only 13 entries for DOY in the 1851 census and none are from Forfar - I think this is a mistake! but I don't have access to Ancestry to check.

It makes sense to do nothing and only add information that I agree with to my tree. Hopefully others will get my tree as a match and amend their own records if they agree.
As to DNA - Am I missing something? Surely it only confirms connections to the living?

Family History Beginners Board / MyHeritage - advice on agreeing part matches
« on: Monday 02 June 25 13:17 BST (UK) »
I have joined MyHeritage for a year. They offer me matches which I can 'confirm' or 'reject' if it's not the same person. The trouble is, it is the same person but I don't agree with all the dates shown. ie in this instance the person matches, the DOB matches but the DOD is wrong (I have the death certificate). Even worse at least 3 people have used this wrong date. Should I confirm or reject? I don't see an option to change the date.
