Young Family Tree
« on: Monday 08 March 10 16:54 GMT (UK) »
I have made a start with my family tree. My problem is that there are so many Johns, Georges and Margarets that it gets confusing.
The basis of my tree starts with my father
George Young born 13.2.1910
His parents were John Young b.1875 and Margaret Martin 1880
Grandparents George Young b.24.4.1836 and Margaret McLean b. 1838
Great grandparents George Young and Janet Robertson. They were married on 13.4.1832
Can anyone see a connection with their family tree?
Thanks, Margaret

Hi Margaret,

Where were the Youngs from as it's quite a common name. Also you can add your own and look at other peoples surname interests in the Surname Interest Table:

Thanks for your prompt reply. You can see I am a novice doing this on the internet.
The Young family I am researching were all rooted in the county of Berwick. I am much better acquainted with Register House in Edinburgh but a friend put me on to this website as she has had some success.
There's not much that I can see in the surname interest table which would make me think anyone was connected to this side of the family.
Yours, Margaret Wheeler (nee Young)
