Aberdeenshire / Re: Aberdeenshire Surnames
« on: Wednesday 30 December 15 14:22 GMT (UK) »I have an illegitimate GG Uncle, Gilbert Joss Morrison, who was born to Isabella Morrison in 1891. Could she have named him Gilbert Joss after his father?
The simple answer is yes.
However just because it is possible doesn't mean that she did, so you cannot be certain that he was.
Of course, of course....like so much else in genealogical research. 100% certainty is a rare thing.

Any relation to Wedderburns that emigrated to Toronto from Aberdeen in the early 20th century? I have a Mary Jane Wedderburn, widow of Charles, son named James, living in Toronto in 1920. In fact, my Grandfathers entire family emigrated to them from Aberdeen in that same year before some of them continued on to New York City a few years later, where GF met my GM. Happy Holidays!

Steve;
Just want to say Happy Holidays! And thank you for all the help you provide here! Where in Italy do you live?
My ancestors came from Toritto and Grumo Appula, two small towns very nearby each other about 15 Minutes inland from the coast of Bari.
I would love to find some information on the death of my great-grandfather, Vito Antonio Silecchia. I think he died in Grumo sometime between 1910 and 1915, but I am not sure. He was born ~1854 so I cannot find his birth records, but I have found lots of brothers and sisters. The Silecchias had large family's....my father is the youngest of 12 children.
Again, thank you for taking the time to help people with there searches! May you have a great year in 2016 for you and your family!
