Anderson Family Census, Doune, Perth
« on: Sunday 04 September 05 14:51 BST (UK) »
Hi, Trying to find more information on my Great Grandmother.

Her maiden name was Margaret Anderson.

Born in Doune January 1, 1844, had a sister named Janet. I don't know her mother or fathers name yet. She ended up immigrating to Canada then the US.

Help would be appreciated

John

Thank You for your help Joe. I think you found them.

Do you have any internet sources that I could go to for more information?

Also, My great grandfather also is from Scotland and want to do research on him and his family.

Hi John:

I noticed a posting from some time ago relating to James Anderson, mason in 1851.

My ancestor William Anderson was born in Doune in 1846.

I have very little information on his father William Anderson.
I have tried to connect James Anderson to my family without success.

If you can provide me with information on James Anderson's parents and family I would appreciate the assistance.

Thanks,
Dave Anderson

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.
