US Lookup Requests / Wisconsin Helper 1971
« on: Thursday 21 August 14 13:17 BST (UK)  »
Hello, I am wondering if anyone on this board has access to the full version of the Wisconsin Helper by van Brocklin? I understand it was a quarterly genealogy periodical. The lookup I'm after is in the volumes 5-7 published 1971. Snippet version only available on Google. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Peeblesshire / Kirk session records & illegitimate births
« on: Saturday 06 July 13 12:55 BST (UK)  »
Hi all

I have an ancestor who was born to two individuals in Peebles in 1797/98 (I haven't found a baptism). The parents were not married.  Around the same time, the father was conscripted into the militia and moved away from Peebles.   The mother then appears to have married another man (a widow).  Can anyone tell me if the Kirk Session Records would likely contain a record of or a reference to of the illegitimate pregnancy? 

thanks
Simon

« on: Wednesday 11 January 12 22:15 GMT (UK)  »
Hi.  Does anyone currently have access to the Peebles Kirk Session Records of the 1790s?   I need to take a look at these and thought I'd check here first before ordering them in.   Many thanks

Peeblesshire / Help interpreting a 1798 marriage register entry
« on: Wednesday 11 January 12 06:28 GMT (UK)  »
Hi.  I found a marriage of interest in the familysearch.org index.  Subsequently downloaded an image of the marriage register from scotlandsPeople.  Then entry states that on 30 Sept 1798 Robert and Alison were proclaimed in order to marriage and were afterwards married by..." thereafter the entry is incomplete, unlike the other entries on the same page where the minister is named and the date the marriage took place is given.    Should I interpret this as the banns were called but the marriage never took place?  Or should I assume that the officiating minister or parish clerk forgot to complete the entry??  Any suggestions most appreciated.
Thanks

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Liddell / Liddle Y-DNA surname project
« on: Saturday 16 July 11 05:53 BST (UK)  »
A Liddell/Liddle Y-DNA study has recently been started. Our goal is to assist genealogists who have hit a “brick wall” in their Liddell/Liddle research by identifying and confirming genetic relationships to other Liddells. 

We currently have 15 members, including several Australians and New Zealanders, most of whom can trace their Liddell/Liddle lineage to 18th century Scotland (incl Roxburghshire, Berwickshire, Peeblesshire and Stirlingshire), and we are looking for others to join us.

As this study involves the testing of the Y-chromosome which is transmitted from father to son, only men with this surname (or a close variant) can take the Y-DNA test.  If you are a female you can still participate in the project by asking a male relative who has this surname to take the DNA test. 

If you are interested in joining the project or would like further information, please visit our website:  www.familytreedna.com/public/teamliddelldna

England / Liddell / Liddle Y-DNA surname project
« on: Saturday 16 July 11 05:47 BST (UK)  »
A Liddell/Liddle Y-DNA study has recently been started. Our goal is to assist other researchers who have hit a “brick wall” in their Liddell/Liddle research by identifying and confirming genetic relationships to other Liddells. 

Our project currently has 15 members from across the world, most of whom can trace their Liddell/Liddle lineage to 18th century Scotland or northern England (Northumberland, Durham, etc), and we are looking for others to join us.  In particular we are keen to welcome new members from the UK.

As this study involves the testing of the Y-chromosome which is transmitted from father to son, only men with this surname (or a close variant) can take the Y-DNA test.  If you are a female you can still participate in the project by asking a male relative who has this surname to take the DNA test.
