thanks all for the help a little less for me to worry about, Now I do have somewhat a chance of carrying on the tree lol! Thanks all!

So researching my family takes me back to 18th Century MacDuff in Banffshire.

So my Ancestors lived in the Parish of Gamrie and MacDuff in Banffshire throughout the 18th Century, But in the parish, Births were not recorded prior to 1704, And I have come to a point where I have traced my family to around 1714, With atleast one member being born in the 1640s, And now im stuck, ...

According to the forum statistics, Ficam was last active on the forum about 6 months ago, so I wouldn't assume that she is no longer around. Here's hoping...

All the best,
