Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: Donaldson-Selby - Help please

Lyndsey,

Two things stop me from looking over your link.  They want money and with my herritage and the times I tend to be a bit cheap.  Second...I a member of enough sites that keep me from my retired chores including my horses...

I know who I am and like I said earlier.  I'm direct lineage to the originals of this fine family.  Not a branch.  And very proud of it...

Mike

Duncan,

So far my wife has posted in my file as far back as 1620 and Thomas Donaldson.  I know she has gone back farther then that and has trace the Selby name back a ways too.

James Donaldson married Catherine Strangeways 31 Jan 1748.  Another (and there are a bunch) Thomas Donaldson married Mary Selby 14 Sept 1791.  Hence the name John Strangeways Donaldson-Selby.  My Grandfather was John Clarigde Smith Donaldson-Selby.

Sitting here reading all those names she has listed and I'm direct lineage to them.  My wife keeps records and history of both sides of my family and she has traced it back quite a ways now.

I hate to horn in, but I'm the American branch of the Donaldson-Selby family.  My father's name was Guy Harding Donaldson-Selby. 

If anyones interested...
