Hello Liz,
This information on Malcolm MacIntosh is fascinating as I have tried many times to find the location of the farm he was on. He was also my Great Uncle!

Hi & thanks for the opportunity.
I am interested and researching particularly Ivan Boyd's career in Bengal & Bombay Police in India between 1902 - 1930 who was a Superintendent & later Assistant Commissioner.

Many thanks

I've done research for Germany, England, Ireland and Scotland. Did find out that one of my lines actually began in France and then went to England/Scotland and then to Ireland.

My research is predominantly in England and Wales and have gone back at least five generations (which I accept is not far compared to some). The names all seem very Anglo Saxon and white in terms of skin colour.  However, my Grandfather (1900-1977)  from a couple of photos seemed to have a very Mediterranean look about him, which my father commented on a couple of times.

I think I'm lucky in that most of mine is only New Zealand and England.

I am extremely lucky that every one of my direct forebears was born and brought up in Scotland, brought up their family in Scotland and died in Scotland; and all except two couples married in Scotland.

However many of their siblings, nephews, nieces, and cousins of all degrees emigrated so I have been searching for their descendants in England, Wales, Ireland, Canada, USA, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, Namibia, Kenya, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, India, Italy, France, Germany and other countries.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Can't answer. Why is Wales lumped together with England?

It's my understanding that it's to do with ancient monarchy;  Scotland had a king; England had a king;  Wales had a prince.
