Shetland / Re: Mouat Family Northmavine

HI Jeannie,

I am from Andrews son James Moad, then down the line, Alfred Moad, Fredrick James Moad, Ronald Moad then me.
Yes I thought of doing a DNA resently and will probably go ahead with it sometime this year.
I was just reading an article that says there are probably more true Shetlandic genes out of Shetland than in these days. The report in the news paper then goes on to say this is because of people leaving in the early 1800's, then in the 1920's. I thought it was pretty interesting!
I am very interested in the Norse ancestory we as Shetlanders share.
All the best,
Shane

Hi Jeannie,

Andrew Mouat (Moad) is my gggg grandfather, I think I got the greats right! ;D

I am afraid I don't have a lot of info on Andrews parents but people I have spoken to in the Shetland Islands feel John Mouat and Elizabeth Williamson seem to be very likely Andrews parents. I also saw this as a footnote on the "Shetland Family History Site", where they too feel John and Elizabeth as most likely to be Andews parents. The birthdate of between 1806-1809 for Andrew also fit in nicely with John and Elizabeth's other children.

Not sure this was much use or shed any more light on things but that's about all I know Jeannie.

All the best,

Shane
