Dundee Eastern Necropolis Burial Contract & Photos

I have not had a whole lot of time recently to spend on family history although I have my sights set on a number of people that are interesting and that I want to delve into. Hopefully I’ll be able to spend more time on that shortly but have a few projects that need to […]

Another Confirmation For Elizabeth Scott

The other day, I wrote about Elizabeth Scott and some of the confusions I had when I came across her, including the fact her surname Scott was the same surname as the man she married, James Scott. There was some confusion also generated by my father’s family history notes, which indicated that John Scott b.

Mary Anne Laurence Revisited – Ceres, Fifeshire Marriage

I cropped the above image so you could enjoy the beautiful handwriting (or at least, I think it is beautiful and wish I was capable of the same). I left several of the records – although we only really want to focus on one. It’s been on my mind a lot – the notes that

Our Scott History: Where My Dad (And Others) Got It Wrong

I have so many things to write about, possibilities still to investigate, and facts in my head; sometimes I don’t know where to begin. I also realize some others don’t have the same passion or burning desire that I seem to have, to try to get right, what my father had often expressed to me

Another Tool Possibly To Help Identify Family Photo

The other day, I posted an article with an image of a large “family” (could also include friends) photograph that I’d love to be able to identify at least some of the people in. Google’s face recognition technology has not helped – in fact, I have not found any help with this technology in regard

Big Family Photo – Who Are They??

I have a much larger size image for those that might to examine it closer. 2560X1851 pixels, 745 Kb. Which family is this? My sister has been scanning old photo prints she has located, and this has been one of them. I’ve used it as the cover image for the “Scott Family Stories” index page
