@findmypast Also related to Sir Roderick Murchison the geologist who was a cousin of my 4xgreat grandmother.

[Margaret Bailey @MargLBailey]

@findmypast Iain Dall MacKay, the Blind Piper, is one of my ancestors.

[Margaret Bailey @MargLBailey]

@findmypast My cousin's wife, my aunt, my sister & my name in that list.

@chiddickstree Agnes transcribed as James on Ancestry so Ancestry trees have an extra child on them. James is stated to be a daughter in the record. Correct elsewhere. #AncestryHour

@SimoninSuffolk My 3xg aunt Mary Ann Welch (b1798) married John Knott (b1791) on 25 Sep 1817 at Dover. I have 4 children for them.

[Margaret Bailey @MargLBailey]

@SimoninSuffolk I have both Welch and Knott among my family from Kent.

[Margaret Bailey @MargLBailey]

@WikiTreers The first members of my family arrived at Port Nicholson on 30 January 1840. Others followed over the years. There must be a good number of them by now.

[Margaret Bailey @MargLBailey]

@AllThoseBefore I have a lot that far back. My 2xGGfather born about 1780. Another 3 generations back easily can be in late 1600s.

[Margaret Bailey @MargLBailey]

@AllThoseBefore Happy new year. I'm working through a large group of #DNA matches only my sister & I have. Common name = Dougherty. Building a tree to connect them. MRCA must be in late 1600s/early 1700s. A sticky segment?

[Margaret Bailey @MargLBailey]

@WikiTreers All those from the north of Scotland who ended up in New Zealand.

[Margaret Bailey @MargLBailey]

@WikiTreers Records for my great grandmother's mother. DNA has given some possible names. #Genealogy

[Margaret Bailey @MargLBailey]

@DSRGenealogist That's me. I'm an aunt & great-aunt. And there are many in my family. I do great @wikitree bios for spinsters and childless women. Some great stories. #genealogy

[Margaret Bailey @MargLBailey]

@WikiTreers @eowyn_langholf @azurerobinson @uptergroveGreg @KoMusicGenie William Dickson Dickson-4596 my 2xggfather. With only his New Testament from 1805 to start with, DNA and detailed research gave me his parents and siblings. Still haven't found all his children. #WikiTreeDay2023

[Margaret Bailey @MargLBailey]

@azurerobinson @WikiTreers Me! I did my doctorate at the Maths Institute at the University of Oxford. My mother did maths too.

[Margaret Bailey @MargLBailey]

@WikiTreers @eowyn_langholf @azurerobinson @uptergroveGreg @KoMusicGenie Phease/Feese has appeared over the last few days among my DNA matches. Maybe the chink in one of my brick walls in Forfarshire #Genealogy

@juliailse And I see your excellent waste work crop up on LinkedIn and elsewhere. Keep up the struggle. One day we will get there! I had hoped to come to Nelson at Hogmanay, but need to see if my hip gets worse. Best wishes.

[Margaret Bailey @MargLBailey]

@juliailse Just had Firefox unable to load on Desktop, so am changing everything to Chrome while I find out why. It works on phone! Busy getting rid of paper files, writing my memoir. Hip replacement in January from fall in 2016, wrist bad from that fall too. Otherwise well.

@ThePeopleTracer Not likely with my one experience of asking a professional to search a given record set for a list of people. Record set not used, just general information from FMP & SP which I access myself.
