Hi there, yes, Gideon Paris, my father named after his father, Gideon Paris, had a farm in Birnie hill, a dairy farm I believe. My middle name is Eleanor, am named after Eleanor Balfour Caskey. My grandmother Flora Jane Stewart died in her 40s and I believe I have a copy of family death certificates which show death from heart failure and Gideon from thrombosis. I visited my Auntie Effie (named after Euphemia and her married name is Ramage) back in 1991; she lived on Easter Road in Edinburgh, passed away a number of years ago, she had a son Stewart who predeceased her, and he had a twin sister, and another son that lives in England. From what I have been told Eleanor Caskey's father was a Minister of the Church of Scotland. Also, we are related through marriage to the Johnstons, they created the product called "Bovril" which was invented for soldiers in WW2. There is a family tree posted on a website, not sure who created it, but it shows Flora Stewart's family. Here is the link. Are we related?

Hi Rob, guess what! We are related. My name is Deborah Paris and my mother is Catherine Christie, daughter of Elizabeth Jamieson and Henry Christie. My mother is one of 16 children, and her siblings include Susan, Phyllis, Pearl, Brenda, George, James, Harry, Robert, to name a few. My mother grew up in Bridgend Lintlithgow West Lothian. I have been doing research myself and have managed to get copies of birth certificates. I met my grandmother Elizabeth when I was young, and have a photo of her, they lived a quiet life in a small Village. Henry was a shale miner and lorry driver, and came from County Tyrone in Ireland. Unfortunately my mother passed away in 1986. I have 2 sisters Patricia Elizabeth Jamieson Paris and Cathrine Paris. My uncle, George Christie, still lives in Linlithgow and his son George and daughter Karen also. We have another uncle that lives in Weymouth England, Jim Christie. Our uncle George Christie would have all the history you are looking for. Are you planning to visit Scotland? I was thinking of visiting to look at all the family homes and burials and visit some relatives.  would be interesting in connecting regarding a trip to do family research if you are interested. I live in Canada. Deborah
