Looking for information on James Whitecross born 1841 in Aberdeenshire.

[Annette7]

The printed 'link' to freepages is very long and clearly has some details missing - 'freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/......../whitecross' - it's a members personal web-page.

However, the ...... bit is clearly crucial as the link won't come up without it.   But, as I suggested, if you do a search on 'Google' and just enter in the name Alexander Lindsay Whitecross it brings up a list of entries and the second item on my screen is headed by this name and if you then click on the name it takes you to the web page.   Simple.

Happy New Year.

Don't know if you noticed on IGI but to get entries on overall family you have to enter in 3 different surnames (would have thought as they sound the same the connection would have happened automatically as they usually do) i.e. Whitecross, Whytecross and Whytcross.

Hi Annette


I used SP and soundex in the end and it did deliver but my my computer hung!  (was down to my last credit! )

I just couldn't open more than one window and then everything kept hanging.

I'm going to go off to spend lotsa ££££s before I go stark staring bonkers 

Happy New Year to everyone involved with this thread.

We got there. Would love to pick up the Irish side but

Hello

I'm a newcomer to this site.   But I have "WHITECROSS" on my husband's tree and also on mine!!   My husbands Gt. Gt. Grandmother was ELIZABETH WHITECROSS, born 1830 in a tiny fishing village south of Cruden Bay and north of Aberdeen, Scotland, called WHINNEYFOLD - pronounced locally as FINNYFALD.   It is perched above the North Sea of the edge of the cliffs, with a winding path leading down to the small beach and shore line.   Long ago the inhabitants, mostly fishermen, were involved in smuggling under the noses of the excise men.   There's also a story of the rescue of a number of sailors from a sinking ship off the coast, and one of the local cemeteries has gravestones to the drowned shipmates.

My WHITECROSS ancestor was ANN, born about 1815 in Methlick, Aberdeenshire, but I suspect she also is part of the Winneyfold clan.   ANN is my Gt. Gt. Grandmother and she married my Gt. Gt. Grandfather, ROBERT DUGUID in 1832.

I notice your query was 2009, so no doubt you have your tree "finished" by now.  But I have a number of the Whitecross family in my tree and I know that there are still Whitecrosses living in the area.

Regards from JENNY in Aberdeen
