Hi Gary,

My ggg grandmother was a Sinclair. My Sinclairs all came from the Isle of Islay.

[garydevine1995]

Hi Ina,

Some of mine come Islay too. Most of the later ones come from Crieff and Comrie but some of the more recent births come from isaly, does any of those names ring a bell hahahaha,

Hi
Just read your information regarding Sinclair ancestors. I think my Sinclair ancestors start from Helen Roy Sinclair and I have managed to get as far as far as Mungo .I think maybe to the 1700s . Haven't participated in a genealogy forum before so not sure how this will go. Only new at tracing my family lines.

Hi DeborahJ

to Talking Scot. Sounds as though it may have been worthwhile joining us
Don't worry about being new to family research. We all were at first and learned as we went along. When you have questions don't hesitate to ask no matter how simple/stupid/ poorly thought out YOU think it is. Every question asked can help another newcomer and we have all asked (still ask sometimes ) for help and guidance. Gary started out a beginner fairly recently and asked plenty of questions but now has a mass of information. If you click on his name and bring up all his posts you will see how busy he was
Hope he comes on to TS soon to link up with you.

Russell

Meant to add - If you want to follow another family name it is sometimes better to start a new thread with you question

I was interested in your Mary Sinclair b 1740 and where she came from. One of my 5th great grandmothers was a Mary Sinclair. She would have been born c1740, based on her marriage to Robert Sand[s] at Arbroath, Angus on 1st May 1760.

Mary was born in Comrie, Perthshire, as was all her siblings and then when we get to sinclairs at 1794-1851 they are all born in Crieff, Perthshire

does she have the same parents as mine does?

Greetings again Gary.

Great to see the progress you have made in such a short time. I raised an eyebrow when I read 'CAN ONLY GET BACK TO 1723'.

Had you been watching a New Zealand TV programme called THE MISSING PIECE this last week, you would have seen how a high profile TV news reader / presenter and his Father, did not know the family history two generations back. The problems that arise when young lovers, from either side of the racial divide, created out of wedlock children. Exacerbated by the Maori Wars, over land rights inequities.

Brick walls were made to be demolished - so keep at it.

Alan SHARP.

That's my problem, Gary. I don't know who my Mary's parents were. I have always suspected they were Angus folk.
