THe Golden Falcon & Figs

[davidwintersmith]

There is a work called "The Golden Falcon" in Freepages on Ancestry.com.

Many of my Winter line are in the work.

There are references to 'Figs' in the work. As an example, in Chapter XVI/2 - Swallow there is a reference to Fig. 152. I have searched the work and cannot find Fig. 152. I assume this Fig. contains a chart of the people referenced in this Chapter.

see http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pillagoda/ch16-02.htm

This would be of great value in my researched. How can I view the Fig(s)

In freepages at Ancestry.com there is an e-book called The Golden Falcon.

In this book there are references to Figs e.g. Fig. 152 - Winter of Tannadice & Cortachy & Clova, Aberdeenshire, Scotland

I assume this fig to be a family tree for people referenced in this chapter.

Does anyone know where I can find the Fig(s)?

Hello David,
Having simply googled "The Golden Falcon", I came up with the freepages site you mention. When I clicked on it, I came up with a contents, at the end of which was a link for Winter family genealogy. That seems to be fairly detailed. Or is that not what you are after?

Darren, many thanks for the speedy response.

This section does not contain the Figs referenced and I have searched for Cortachy and Hunchar v John Winter to no avail.

I am expecting to find a family tree charting the generations without all the comments in the section.

Best regards

DAvid

Have you tried emailing the author Wendy at the address shown?

[davidwintersmith]

Yes, she died in 2005 and no other contact details available. Pillagoda search (where the research started) provides no cluse either.

Regards

Graham, this is wonderful news. The figs I believe may contain data to resolve me nemesis!

I am in touch now with the society.
