Re: Name Change
Hold the phone :!: Ancestry have just updated my DNA test results and now I have gone from being 48% Scottish to 92% Scottish :o :o that's a big leap, so now my origins point to the North and West (Highlands and Islands) rather than the South West (North West Ireland) :D not that I had a problem wit...

Re: Name Change
Hi jg
Thank you for the reply,
This family were in the Angus Glens so could very well have been Jacobite's although have yet to find their name recorded. I wondered if they could be Irish as there seems to be a strong Irish connection re DNA test results from desendents.
Thanks Again

Name Change
Hello once again
Can anybody explain why a family in the 1700's Scotland would start to change their name from Kandow to Kennedy, I have tried looking on line but getting nowhere fast. Can you help.

Re: Helen Taylor Elder
Hi WilmaM Thanks for the reply, in any case the information recorded would have come from the participants involved I suppose at the registration of the marriage. David Elder and Annie McConnahie went on to have a large family in Forgandenny / Dunning all recorded after 1855. There is a marriage rec...

Re: Helen Taylor Elder
Hi WilmaM I feel that the marriage record is correct because of the other family member present as a witness, Helen could have just recorded Annie Elder as her mother (McConnachie) but she was recorded as Elizabeth Elder M.S. Drummond or maybe Helen did not want to be recorded as illegitimate :oops:...
