Special request re STRONSAY, Orkney plse.
« on: Tuesday 26 May 09 06:50 BST (UK) »
Wonder if any members who have ancestors born, married, or died in Stronsay,
Orkney, Scotland...would be kind enough to list those names & details about them please.
Believe there were Millers in Stronsay.

Greatly appreciated,
Tiffaney

Mine are:  Peace; Shearer (believe there may be two separate unrelated lines  of Shearers); Tulloch; Laughton; Sinclair; Laing; poss. Spence; Craigie; Scott.


Also there is a new Stronsay forum just been set up for those who have ancestors from Stronsay at:
