Historical family document discovered: Brechin

[Grothenwell]

Hi Martin,

My Brechin tree goes back to Tarves/Boutrie via Old Meldrum, so there might be a link there. If you are interested send me a PM with your email address and we can share what we have, if you want?

Best wishes,

Grothenwell

Hi Grothenwell,

I've sent you a PM.

Cheers,
Martin

Hi All,

Just to follow up on this; I've finally finished transcribing the book and I've added a brief foreword describing it.  I've now sent an email to ANESFHS with the first 6 pages for (hopefully) some advice on what could be done with it.

I'll let you know what happens.

Best regards,
Martin

Well, I sent the email as I said and followed it up a few weeks later.  I have received no response from ANESFHS whatsoever!

Has anyone any further suggestions?  I'd really like to get this published and I can't help but feel that going through geneologically-inclined organisations would be the way to go - although if ANESFHS is anything to go by then perhaps not!

Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin,

I am sorry the ANESFHS has not responded. I don't feel that this would normally be the case and that your email has fallen between the cracks.

Have you considered a local history magazine, for instance "the Leopard". Certainly I would like to hope you would get a response from them.

I certainly can't wait to read what you have transcribed, put me down on the waiting list.

Best wishes,

Grothenwell

Hi Martin,

Would it be worth giving ANESFHS a call just to make sure your emails have been reaching them? you know how wilful spam killers can be at times - maybe you have fallen foul of theirs.

Cheers.

Hi Martin,

I agree with Jen and Grothenwell...I don't think that ANESFHS would ignore you intentionally. It would certainly be worth giving them a call to see if they did receive your emails, at least then you would know.

Hi MartinGuthrie,
I would thoroughly recommend Alastair McIntyre's ELECTRIC SCOTLAND website .... the greatest repository in the world for Scottish social and literary history ... have a look and you will see why your discovery will be welcomed.

Tell Alastair that you were advised by me, John Henderson (one of his main contributors), to alert him to your on-going work.
His e-mail is,

Hi Everyone,

Thanks to Grothenwell's help I'm now in contact with ANESFHS and they're now looking at the journal.  I'll let you know what happens next.

Thanks for all the messages of support - much appreciated!
