Thanks for the web site Neil.  I stumbled across it a while back, and contributed photos of my grand-parents and g-grandparents.  The Internet is sure a great way to share information!  Regards.  Kevin

Neil:

Greetings from the American branch of the Sives family.  I've checked my files, but have come up empty regarding your ancestors.

Hi Fiona.  Thank you so much for the information.  The census records I've viewed for Archibald list his place of birth as Prestonkirk, so more than likely the James & Mary you list are indeed his parents. 

Here in America, Sives is a fairly rare last name - as a matter of fact, every Sives that I've ever spoken with on the Internet descends from Archibald's son James Arthur Sives, who emigrated around 1870, settling in Pennsylvania, raising a family, and eventually winding up in California (with a new wife), where he died in 1918.

Thank you again.

Kevin

Thank you so much for the information you provided on Archibald.  I did have Jessie listed as a nickname for his wife, but it's good to have confirmation!  One thing I forgot to mention in the original posting was that I've seen him referred to as "Frederick Archibald Sives", but he seems to have gone by Archibald during his lifetime.

There is a Sives genealogy posted by someone at:

http://www.freewebs.com/thetiesthatbindburnsandthomas/sivessibbessivisfamily.htm

that terminates one branch with an Archibald Sives, b. 1813 in Dirleton, E. Lothian, but I have been unable to connect "my" Archibald with that Archibald.  Although geographically it seems to match.

Thank you again!

Greetings from the American branch of the Sives family.  My name is Kevin Sives.  Here's what I have on my family:

Archibald Sives (born abt. 1812) married Christina Simpson 20 Jun 1841 in Dunbar, E. Lothian, Scotland.

They had Mary & James Arthur (1844 - 1918)

James Arthur (1844 - 1918) married Emily Kempton in England, and emigrated to Falls, Wyoming County, Pennsylvania in the United States around 1870.

They had (Christina, James Arthur - 1869 - 1921, Fred, Julius, Bernice, George, and Miles).

James Arthur (1869-1921) married Mary Elizabeth Smith, and had the following children:

Milford (1892 - 1950), Mildred, Bernice, and Leland.

Milford married Florence A. Hartin, and they had the following children:

Arthur James (1922 -, my father), Evelyn, Dorothy, Ethel, Elizabeth, and Marie.

Arthur James (1922 - ) married Lois Mae Compton, and they had the following children: Kevin Arthur (me)  and Sheila Mae.

I haven't been able to connect Archibald Sives (born about 1812) to any of the Sives lines that were located in East Lothian at that time.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
