Timothy

If they were not Church of Scotland then the records will not be on scotlandspeople. There may be some records in the National Archives of Scotland of non conformist churches in the area.

Timothy,

It is not what you are asking for, but this link to Jedburgh graves may help: http://haygenealogy.com/hay/scotland/jedburghcemetery.html

I was in Jedburgh last weekend - it is a nice town.

Looking for the marriage of  Robert Balmer to  Jean Robson about 1825 in Jedburgh Scotland.If its not on Scotlandspeople is it the end of the line?

Also the birth of  James Veitch about 1816 in Jedburgh .On his death certificate his parents were James Veitch and  Margaret Henry .Again nothing on Scotlandspeople .Any ideas?

 Thank You Tim

Changes coming to Scotland's People.

The price for 30 credits will go up from £6 to £7 starting April 1. But also with this change, the credits will no longer expire after 90 days. They will now be good for one year.

Looking for Eleonard McINTYRE & Margaret McKENZIE, married circa 1764 in Barra. They arrive in New Brunswick circa 1793-1797.

Also, Duncan McNICOLL & Katherine McNICOLL from Comrie (Perthshire). They both join the 78th Highlanders at Inverness in 1757 and settle near Quebec after the war.

 Person Notes:   Robert Campbell Paterson was a Vinegar and condiments merchant who had a good reputation for selling an honest product.  His name appears regularly in the Post Office Directory from 1851 onwards.  In 1868 he was joined by his son Campbell and began to diversify into sauces, ketchup and fruit wines. Eight years later, following the death of its founder the Paterson Company was catapulted to fame with the first instant coffee: Camp Coffee (an essence of coffee-beans, chicory and sugar poured from a distinctive bottle).

 

Robert was buried in the Southern Necropolis which opened in the year 1840.

The Paterson headstone lies face-up in the front, right quarter of the central section of the cemetery.  Http://www.southernnecropolis.compage54.html

I had my Family Finder test done through Familytreedna.com.  I too am Western European and 10% Middle Eastern.  I do not know where the Middle Eastern comes from.  Most of my ancestry I have traced back to the 1600s at least and my ancestry is English, Scottish, German, Dutch, Welsh, and a little Irish and French.  I am at a loss to explain Middle East ancestry.

I just received a preliminary report on some testing done with 23andMe by Doug MacDonald , He reports that I am 90% Orcadian with the rest from the Middle East. The middle east is from Roman times as I have a paper and testing trail.
