Free ScotlandsPeople Look Up! COMPLETED
« on: Sunday 27 January 08 05:24 GMT (UK) »
I'm bored! I'm fed up looking up my family with no positive result.

Anybody want a look up?

FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED

Genuine offer! 

I've got about 100 credits and can't be bothered looking up any more of mine tonight!

I think folk might think I'm joking!  I'm not! 
If nobody replies soon though, I'm going off in the huff to watch a boring film or something!
I'll give it until 6.00am
Posted on Scotland- General board too but no replies there.

No, thanks Dave. I just think it's nice of you  ;D.

I thought it was a serious offer and expect you'll be bombarded with takers ... eventually.

I take it you have asked for assistance in finding your family? There are some excellent Scottish researchers out there who'll probaby jump at the chance to narrow them down for you (specially if you have your own credits to use  ;)).

Best of luck!

Hello Dave,

I'm having difficulty finding a birth/baptism for my great grandmother, Janet Carmichael. I have found birth/baptisms for all of her siblings - All Dunblane Perth Scotland, but not she.

She died October, 1912 aged 58 years and travelled to Australia, arriving in December 1858 aged 4 years, so she would have been born c1854 or possibly 1855.

Her parents were Alexander Carmichael and Helen (Ellen) Stewart. Death certificate has her place of birth as Dunblane Scotland.

Thanks Dave, it would be a wonderful if you were able to find her baptism/birth date.

All the best,
Margaret

Cheers Ruskie,
I've put a deadline on it now!
Maybe, I'll extend it - depends who asks!
(note to self - everyone can read this)  ;D

PS How'd you make that Scottish jump! - just because I'd put it on the Scottish board?

I defy any researcher to get further back in my direct line than I've done myself!

 ;D

Margaret,
I'm sorry.
No joy.
I've tried Perths. and Fifes. both sides of '55 but no results that help you.
Different spellings.....
still no joy.

I suspect I'm duplicating things that you have looked at yourself but it never does any harm to have another look.

Sorry I haven't helped.

Thanks for giving me something to look for.

Dave.
