 :-*Thank you so much for your help with begining of my search. I have checked out Scotlands People which I did not know about and the archives which I had had a bit of a look around. I am going to contact my cousins and see if they have any thing relevant. My uncle Alexander Pringle (Born 19/8/1924) know as Sandy was from what I remember a member of The Black Watch, any ideas on how I find his service record?

Dumfriesshire / boyd and pringle families
« on: Tuesday 06 October 09 02:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi i am looking into my families on my mothers side.
Her father was Mark Pringle born 28/8/1899 his father on the birth cert copy i have is Alexander Pringle and his mother was Mary Pringle (nee Burrell) they married in Glasgow 21/8/1891.The Parish/District was Dennistoun,Glasgow.
My maternal grandmother was Grace Esther Annie Pringle (nee Boyd) and I do have a family tree(very bad copy and hard to read) that goes back to William Boyd (baptised 5/8/1711) and Jannett Anderson (born 1733). They had 8 children and my line comes from their 4 child Mungo (baptised 22/6/1767) and Mary(jane) Dickson.All came from the Ruthwell area.
My son and I will be in Scotland August 2010 and would like to visit the areas our family came from and find a grave or 2 maybe.
Any info on either family would be fantastic.
