I had thought that maybe you would not check this website anymore as the posts were back in 2013!
I have only just started thinking about researching family history, but have to say that I find it totally absorbing!

Hi Sally,

I do check back but lately I've been engrossed in my DNA matches which is very time consuming with little reward in the way of replies or family trees to compare with  ::)

Anyway, regarding your family tree on your paternal side, I have 'Hebridean Mountains' ;D of it, all well researched & confirmed via BMDs & census' which I can help you with!

It will be good to find out about our more recent connections as my father told me a lot & at the time I thought I'd remember everything but...well...I didn't & it was too late by 2013 to ask him again  :(

Janey is right but I don't want to send a PM until you reply to this message, in case it doesn't go through.

Meanwhile, in case you don't have it, this is the original record of your father's BC

Hi Annie!
I think you are a much more advanced researcher than I am....!! 
All this research takes such a large amount of time, so I have to fit it in as and when I have the time (which hasn't been much recently!). 
I am more than happy to pass on any information regarding all the family based in the UK plus Mary's in the USA, just let me know what you would like and I can start putting something together.....
I know what you mean regarding memory - my father (William) died back in 1999 and I have forgotten anything that he told me regarding past family members.  My mother (who is mainly Welsh) is still alive and I have now asked her to write all information down for me, so that at least I have something to refer back to!
Would be more than happy to PM with more information and thank you for the copy of the BC but I think that is form my Uncle Angus?  Speak soon!  Sally

Dear Janey
Many thanks for your message with info - I have messaged Annie and so hopefully now we will be able to PM each other for further information swapping!  Very exciting!  Best wishes - Sally

Hi Sally, I'm just glad you're interested in your roots although I can only help with your paternal side.

I haven't received your PM but I will send you one & you only have to click on 'Reply' to send your message.

I don't have the BC for William, it's within the 100 yr privacy era i.e. not downloadable.

Speak soon via PM!  ;)
