June 2005 RootsChat Challenge

cool

Does that mean you'd like the link to the book, or just that it was cool that I did the book ?

Denise asked me to add a piece of info she found to this thread:

Hello Manchester Rambler,
Well, 10 years have flown by, and I want somehow to report on RootsChat that I FOUND the mysterious Duncan Dunbar Tatham, one of the people mentioned in the 2005 June Challenge. I have forgotten how to enter this information, and wonder whether you would do so on my behalf.
Duncan Dunbar Tatham went to Ceylon where he died at Ambagamawa in November 1863. He was buried on 15 November 1863 at St Paul's Church, Kandy, Ceylon. I found this information when I was searching for someone else, so it was meant to be.
I guess it pays to never give up. I did share this information to other researchers, so perhaps this has already been mentioned somewhere on RootsChat.

14 years later - this is a treasure trove ...

William Maule Molison was my great-great-great-grandfather (through his daughter Catherine who married James Adamson on 15 July 1852). I have inherited some of his belongings.

My grandfather pieced together his family tree (the hard way!) in the 1950s. I had come across Alexander Strachan Molison and his son Alexander Joseph Molison a few years ago through their connections to the Dunbar ship Edwin Fox, but I couldn't quite make the connection to WMM. 

Many thanks for everyone's efforts on the challenge - mystery solved!
