Databases
These are
the databases that I have and will search for you on
request. Please provide as much information as you can to
help narrow down the search. Spouse and sibling details
are helpful because of the naming customs adopted by very
many Presbyterian families eg the use of the wife`s maiden
surname and the grandmother`s as the second christian
name of a child. Please remember that our ancestors traditionally
used a small number of christian names, usually Robert, Samuel, Charles,
James, John, Elizabeth, Mary etc . I have over 400 `William` Orrs for
example and one file that runs through 10 generations of William so please
try and help yourself by giving approx dates, and locations where
possible.
All
enquiries received or downloaded from Rootsweb Lists, web
sites etc are cross referenced so that if a later match occurs I
can get back to the interested party.
