« on: Friday 12 October 18 14:24 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I wonder if anyone can help.... looking for death details for my gggrandfather Peter Borsch who died in Toronto approximately 1970-1975. He was born in Galicia in late 1890s. His names have changed spelling also, ranging from Piotr Borszcz to Pete Borsk. He was married to Dorothy Charlotte Smithers.
Thanks

Armed Forces / William Brown and Bridget Elliott
« on: Friday 12 October 18 13:52 BST (UK)  »
I`m looking for some info please. My ggg grandmother was born in 1810 to her parents William Brown and Bridget Elliott on a military base somewhere in Spain. Her name is Catherine Brown. I have details on her children and life etc but absolutely nothing on her parents. I dont know anything about when they went across to Spain or when they returned. I know that Bridget returned to Scotland because she died in Edinburgh and that is where her daughter married her husband too. I assume they were originally from Edinburgh before going to Spain..... I dont know whether William died in Spain or returned with Bridget. No idea either what regiment he was in. Bridget died in 1852 and Catherine died in 1898 in Dundee.
Any assistance is much appreciated....

Hi there,

This may be a silly question but I am currently researching my family tree, my ancestors come from various areas of olden day Galicia. These areas are no longer Austrian or Polish but now part of Ukraine. Should I be tracing the records in Ukraine or should it be the country of birth? I hope this makes sense!!!!

Aberdeenshire / Davidson
« on: Friday 09 September 16 06:32 BST (UK)  »
Hi there,

Just wondering if anyone out there has any information on John Davidson and Joan Ogston who married in Peterhead in November 1850. I have no material on their parents at all. I also know that John and Joan had a son James (my great grandfather) but unsure if James had any siblings. Apparently there is a link with the whaling industry and James may have died at sea because there is limited information on his death it seems. Any information would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Wondering if anyone has information on one of my ancestors - CLEMENT ROSE b 1685 d 1741 in Pirbright, Surrey I believe. His father was also called Clement Rose but I have no information on Clement Jr`s mother. Clement Jr married Elizabeth Read in 1710.

Thanks for any assistance,

Hi, Thanks to everyone for their help!
I have also found documents showing that Semko`s son Peter (Pietro) has the surname spelt as Borsk! Peter is my great grandfather, and it appears that when Peter married his wife Charlotte Dorothy, the name was changed again to Borsch (which is my surname)!

Its a bit confusing, but really interesting!

Which part of the Borszcz family tree are you researching?

Is it true that Lemberg/ Lembley is the city now known as Lviv?

Thanks folks.
