Roxburghshire / Thomas Douglas of Yetholm
« on: Sunday 27 March 22 19:42 BST (UK)  »
 On Scotlands people a birth entry reads .... Thomas Douglass.. Herd? in Shotton & Oliver Young his spouse had a son born and baptised 21 first James ... May 10 1805 Yetholm because of the old hand writing some of this is hard to read .. what I am thinking is 'herd' might mean (and I know he was a shepherd) that he lived in or near Yetholm but his sheep herd was in Shotton Northumberland ????
 He moved (with his family) up to Sutherland in about 1819 and is buried up there.

Europe / Marath & Giesz :surnames . Tolna County Hungary
« on: Monday 05 August 19 03:23 BST (UK)  »
 Trying to find out more about Louis Marath of Hogyesz Hungary .. he married Gizella Giesz likely at Lengyel (Tolna County) Hungary (1904 - 05)(but maybe married in States) they came to the USA in 1906 .. living around Pittsburgh Pennsylvania USA. They always gave nationality as German in the US census .. but I think that's because they spoke German .. though born in Hungary (or the old Austrian Hungarian Empire). In the USA 1930 census Lousis is down as 46 yrs old .. and Gizella 42

On the back was wrote that it was done by an Eileen Joyce Wilkinson of Allington Road Halesworth Suffolk England. Her sister in Mount Brydges Ontatio Canada was the owner (last name Scott). I was just wondering about the history of this pretty picture .. dated 1989
