Thanks again guys.

Will keep looking into everything. Might start looking into another part of the family as well while keeping this going.

Do I have have to start a new topic so as not to confuse the 2 and everyone else?

[judb]

Yes, please start another topic although you can put a reference to this one if there is a connection. (If you are unsure how to do it someone will be able to help)

RedWolf0502 … the CORRIE family in England, looks an interesting trail to follow, if you haven't done so far.  I have had a bit of a look and getting good results.

With the MILLERs, looks like 'ScotlandsPeople' site after your exhausted English records.  Bonnie

Hi Bonnie

Unfortunately Scotlands People means "send money"   

I see you have Prussia in your list of ancestors.  I am currently trying to help a friend with research there and it is proving very difficult.

Any suggestions?
