Couldn't see a DNA related section
My AULD family did not seem to bother with having any of their children baptised in the Parish churches in the area of Scotland they are said to be born.
The earliest I can confirm back to is Andrew Auld, and his spouse Margaret Shaw, only one of their children was baptised.
He may be the Andrew Auld baptised 1750 at Slamannan, son of Nicol Auld and Jean MacKie they married there in 1744 he was from Torphichen, she from Slamannan. BUT as so many of the Auld's events have gone unrecorded his may be one of those.
Not in touch with any of my great grandfathers male descendants in New Zealand, and his male branch has died out in Scotland.
Wondering if any other listers with surname Auld have considered YDNA testing, or if in fact there is an Auld YDNA project
I saw that there was an Ayrshire branch back to 1660's
There is a branch in Australia that looks to be descended from Andrew and Margaret, naturally this James Auld died in 1851 so his parents were not named, but the 1841 census has what has to be 2 of his sons with Andrew and his wife at Bogside.
Has anybody had good results with the Family Finder test, maybe this is my best option, if I can also get other's to participate, but at nearly $300 it is not a cheap option.
