Thought you might be interested in a success story involving this site. I'm the granddaughter and daughter of the people mentioned in the above post. I have only started my family research fairly recently. A few weeks ago, on a whim, I googled my grandfather's name and, surprisingly, came up with several references from somebody searching for him here and on other sites.tishgibbons wrote:Hi Folks,
I had just about given up on Genes Reunited when I got a message yesterday that is an actual connection to my family - thanks to Peter if you are also a frequenter of TS!!!. Anyway, he tells me that one of my 'long losts', Archibald Gauld from Glenbuchat, Aberdeenshire, married Esther Wilson (b. 1895) Greenock. They married and lived in Greenock and had at least one child, Agnes C. Gauld. I'm currently at odds with my credit card - or it is with me!) so I haven't gone to SP with this yet. Thought I'd see if this sounds familiar to anyone here first? ( I know, I'm a cheapskate!)

The original post on here was from 2005 but I have been able to contact the poster, Tish, and we have exchanged information. There was also a reply on the thread from another member of Talkingscots seeking information on the same family but she has not visited this site since 2006. If anybody can contact "cyngauld" and put her in touch with me that would be great.
I had just posted a reply to the original thread on the Scottish People forum then realized there was a Success Stories forum.
You never know how many years later you will get an answer to your post.
