Hi Alexana,

Good on you for finding that, that will make it more interesting to put in, instead of having Findochty.   That makes another ancestor that I have had born on a boat.

Hi

I am a Phimister and my 4xgt grandparents were George Phimister and Christian Bremner of Wick.
Think I may have found George's father at Dunnet.
Anyone care to exchange info?

Hi Pat,
We must be distantly related as George Phimister and Christian Bremner were my 5xg grandparents.
I don't think I have any info though beyond George.  Will have to check and get back to you.

Caithness Family History Society have a very detailed Phimister Family Tree submitted by one of their members which contains the aforesaid George Phimister and Christian Bremner.

Hi Spittalhill,

Just had a look at the Caithness Site, but notice you have to be a member.   

As I already have a detailed and completed tree thanks to my mother and her relatives,  the information on there will probably match what I have.

Thanks anyway for your suggestion it was much appreciated.
