Scotland / Names on Tombstones but no Record ?
« on: Sunday 22 March 15 22:52 GMT (UK)  »
I have found a tombstone of John Bannerman  D 1823 and his wife Elizabeth Robb  D 1825 with their son James D 1825  but I can not find any record of their death , The Grave yard is in Rathen stone # 40 , If Scotlands People can't find it where else could I look ?

Other Countries / Germans in Russia look up please .........
« on: Tuesday 06 August 13 08:39 BST (UK)  »
Hello , I  would like to know if some one can help me . My Gr Grandfathers family came from Karlsruk ?  Russia and were German immigrants . They arrived on the Victorian ship in 1908 . headed to Rosthern Saskatchewan  Gr Grandfather was John K Gerlock , he has his age as 14 on the ships passenger list but I suspect it might be wrong . He was traveling with his parents John and Elizabeth Gerlock . Then in the 1911 Saskatchewan census it has him down  again with his parents and a wife Catherine  and children John 5,  Park 4 , and Elizabeth  1 . it says the two older children were born in Russia , and in the 1916 Census John is with a Teresa Trippel  newly married from 1912 with children from that marriage .  I would like to know  if there was a marriage back in Russia , and if there is any birth certificates to be found for John or his children ??   I have read how difficult it might be with Russian Researching , but I think it will be worth the effort .
 As  for the first wife Catherine , and the children I have found no trace of them , I don't know how much divorce there was back then , or if she went back home to Russia after a few years in Canada ?? I do not know her  maiden name .
