I don’t know if we have photos of Elizabeth Scott, who was born at Burntisland in 1811. We actually may have photos, but it will take some work to try to figure out the possibilities of that. Over the years, this Elizabeth has confused me often – and I can’t say I’m yet totally certain …
Back in about January, I purchased a used Volkswagon Tiguan. Purchasing a car in Greece can be a bit of a chore which I may write about later. Compared to prices of similar vehicles in Athens, I think I got a fair deal, but compared to used car prices back in Canada, – wow…. the …

I’d like to ask your forgiveness for the poor quality of these photographs in advance. When I took these, I did not realize that some years later, they’d be the only handy photos that I’d be able to refer to and share – I have since given the Family Bible, for safekeeping and enjoyment to …

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 …

It turned into a beautiful sunny day in the Attica region of Greece which was a change from the rainy cool weather of the past few days. I decided to take a break from family history research, staring at old photos, and looking at my piling up “to-do” list, and go for a drive. We …
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 …
