I am looking for the distaff side of the HOGGAN Family from Dunfermline, Fife Scotland. Some of those family names are: LAW, ELLIS, FLOCKART, BARCLAY, BUCHANAN, BOSWELL, HALKERSTONE and lastly, for the moment anyway, FATHERINGHAME. If anyone has these names in their line (back to the 1500'a) please let me know -- thank you!

PHILIP,CRAIK,LENNIE.My family has these surnames plus a WILSON of which I haven't been able to get back further than 1753.That is a Thomas Wilsom marrying Mary Graves at Tealby,Lincolnshire 3/7/1753.It has been handed down that the family was originally from Scotland.(Gunns) but I have been unable to find the connection yet.

Further to Carol's comment:
From the Declaration of Arbroath on April 6, 1320, which triggered the birth of democracy, to the immense contributions made by Scots and descendants of Scots to science, culture, sport, the economy and almost every other aspect of the modern world, Scotland has an incredible amount to be proud of. And we are!

April 6th is the official Tartan day set by the goverment too thank the Scots for all they have done for this country. Please think of your Scottish ancestors and thank them for allowing us to live here in a free democratic country.

Lois, the Old Parish Records for South Leith and North Leith on Scotlandspeople don't have anyone by the name of Tainsh for 1800. Are you sure he was born there?

Hello, I am looking for the children, if any, of Thomas Meikle and his wife Wilhemina Meikle (born Dougall). Thomas was born abt 1816 Lossurth Midlothian and was listed in the 1871 census as being a hotel keeper in Edinburgh st George. I beleive my husbands grandmother was named after Wilhemina Meikle, but I need a sons name to make a connection, as no father was listed on her birth certificate
