A disrupted family

[sancti]

Thanks Trish, unfortunately I dont have any Australian emigrants and if I did they would probably have been called convicts 

My own brickwall is on my maternal Irish line pre 1850's and on my paternal highlander side with common names and a reluctance to say who they were married to on their death certificates

You've obviously been browsing the OZ board & heard me talking of my convicts and Irish immigrants  I am sure my Irish folk were having a small revolution against English rule in Australia, They were happy to fill in BDM forms, and put a different age and birthplace on every one they completed.   
enjoy the holiday

Hi jac

Welcome from me too 

It might be worth starting a new topic on the Fife board - entitled Fife death index pre-1855 look up offer or similar.

You'll probably have a full time job

If you go to the main Fife board:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,97.0.html

and click on 'New Topic' - top right, you will be able to start what we call a new thread. Put a suitable title in the Subject line and then put in your offer in the body of the message and press Post

...And another hello from me jac 

As Trish mentioned, death info pre 1855 is neigh on impossible to obtain, except through the hard work of volunteers and researchers who have published listings and booklets from the OPRs which not everyone is aware of or can access easily.

Look forward to your contributions. As Gadget suggests, a specific new post offering look up would be a great asset to the Fife board here on RootsChat. Look out also for postings where death info pre 1855 would be an added bonus and contribute as you have on this post.

You'll easily get the hang of RootsChat, and hopefully enjoy being part of the community.

Hi jac2

We are happy bear with you    everyone is new at some time - Gadget is newer than me, but she posts alot  
Posting that you are happy to share the information is a good idea, you will also find there are sometimes folks asking "Does anyone have the Fife index pre 1855" or the Fife MIs when they are looking for deaths.

I'm in Australia - its way late - time to leave

Trish

Nite Monica and Gadget

Nite Trish - sleep well 

I think I had one of my first differences of opinion with Trish when I joined but we have forgotten that now 

This reminds me that I should post an 'all parishes MI look up offer' on Kirkcudbrightshire
