Hi Janet, Most of them were lured by the promise of higher wages and better living in the New World. There is a booklet called Barre in Retrospect II - 1776 - 1995 published by the Friends of the Aldrich Public Library, Barre, Vermont which gives the history of Barre and the various immigrants who worked in the granite industry. If I remember correctly, I also found some information in the Special Collections and Archives at Kings College, Aberdeen, pertaining to the granite industry One of my anc

Dear Alex, I have an extract of an OPR in Aberdeen, Aberdeen of the marriage of John Brands and Margaret Main. I ordered it by mistake thinking it was the John Brands that I am researching.

She tried putting in subscribe there but still it came back from Compuserve. Since I can't find my sheet from when I subscribed could someone straighten me out, how does one subscribe to the list.

Hi there fellow ABD researchers, I have a problem, I first find my family in TORPHINS in the Kincardine O'Neil area of ABD. I have a Robert MILNE and an Ann SCHAW or SHAW (shown by both names on different records). I find the births of Abraham Milne in 1762 and Robert Milne 1764 being born to this couple. Can find absolutely NOTHING on any family of either parents (a few possibilities for Robert) and no reference to a marriage or previous children. I have been working on this for years but am obviou
18. Re: Question on O.P.R. [0.978136]
Hi Marge, The OPR is all there was prior to Civil Registration in 1855. You cannot get an actual marriage certificate unless it is 1855 or after. That is why it doesn't pay to send for one from Scots Origins. You can copy the same one at the FHC for 25 cents+ whatever it costs you to order the roll of film from Salt Lake. $3.50? I know it is disappointing because you can get so much information from a certificate. Sorry, Dorothy Nicassio __________________________
19. church & sea captains [0.978136]
I have 2 questions to pose for the group. My family was born either in the St. Nicholas or the Old Machar areas in Aberdeen. Can anyone tell me what church(es) served the area? Is there a book of monumental inscriptions available for whatever church(es) they might have intended? Many of the family appear in the OPR (from 1720 on), so I am assuming they were associated with the Church of Scotland, although I am not sure about what happened with them after the schism. The other question is this. I know

Hi Listers, I wonder if someone in the know could help me with a problem I have. On his attestation & discharge papers for the Army my 3 X Great Grandfather gives his place of birth as Raffhaven, Banff. This place does not seem to exist and the nearest anyone can find is Rathven. Was this the old name for Raffhaven or, perhaps, a parish in Banff itself? TIA Roy >From Sunny Donny

25. Occupation of teaser [0.978136]
In 1841 Census of Linlithgow, Susanna Duff, 15 gives her occupation as TEASER. I think this may be to do with carding wool, however she later, in Australia, is engaged in the papermaking trade. Can anyone suggest ( no flippant remarks please!) what a TEASER may have been? Marjorie Bundy Queensland Australia researching at the moment, SMITH of Old Deer Aberdeen
