« on: Tuesday 22 March 11 18:10 GMT (UK) »
Looking for any assistance for the parents of James Buddo b jan 5 1684 in mains and Strathmartine.  I believe them to be John Buddo and Margaret Burnes. 

Any assistance appreciated

Where did you get an exact date of birth? If it comes from a record of birth or baptism, was at least the father's name not given?

Thanks for the response.  The father's name is John as I listed. (see below)  I have tried researching John Buddo (father) and Margaret Burnes (mother) with no success as yet

I have had a look at the LDS index and see it says there that John Buddo and Margaret Burnes had a son, James, baptised (not born) in Mains and Strathmartine on 5th January 1684. They also had a son, John, baptised in Dundee on 20th June 1680. Have you seen the actual entries for these baptisms?

Excuse my ignorance - new to family research - what is LDS?  I have currently in my tree John Buddo and Margaret Burnes having James and also John b 1680.  This would mean if James was christened on jan 5 and not born then he could possibly have been born in 1683?   I havent seen any actual entries on anyone.  Is there any information on the parents of John - the father?  I have been trying to use the Family Search site run by the Mormon church in Utah, USA for most of my research so far.  Any help/direction you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, by LDS (Latter Day Saints) I mean the Mormon Family Search site. What is very important in tracing a family is to start with what you do know and can prove, then work back from that. Be very wary of accepting information available from other people's research unless they can tell you their sources. Lots of information out there, especially on the internet, is not correct. You have to check things yourself. Indices are useful, but you need to look at the original documents. For example, if you look at the actual entries for these baptisms you might be given the exact address in the parish, perhaps the father's occupation, and the names of witnesses, who may be relatives. You say you are new to family research, but have got back to the 17th century. How did you get there? Have you genuine documented evidence linking each generation from you back to John Buddo?

Oops! Forgot to add that with high infant mortality, it was usual at that period for a baptism to take place very soon after birth. It is very early in the year, but more likely than not that the birth took place in 1684.

Thanks for the advice.  Most of the information I have is from relatives and as you said I took that and worked back from there.  I have some documents but not all and still working on that.
