My ancestors all originated in North East Scotland, as far north as Caithness: Jack; and then into Banffshire, Aberdeenshire, Kincardineshire, Angus, and Edinburgh. Surnames: Hutchison (Aberdeen and Cruden); Middleton (Angus); West (Banffshire); Reid (Banffshire); Linton (Kincardineshire) and many others.

Thanks Kirsty, I'm slowly finding my way around this place! I will have to look at my other Scottish family names if there are no Ririe's to be found.

Hi Christine, I think you can search the whole of GenealogyWise by using the 'Search Social Network' box at the very top of the screen. However, I tried a search for Ririe and your message below was the only mention I found.
Hope you find some connections,
Kirsty

Hello I'm new here, I can't find a way to search old messages so I'm wondering if anyone here is researching the Ririe name? Mostly from the area of Aberdeen to start with then Newcastle.

Hi James,

I have been tracing my Begg ancestors as well, but they came from Castletown, Scotland and our line married a Coghill and came out here to New Zealand.

Not sure if there would be any family connection at all...........

Joan, I have just Googled two farms in Ayrshire and got the sattelite images that you can zoom in on. Just make sure you have the names spelt correctly and the name of a town nearby. Sometimes you can see where buildings have been in the past as the shapes are there in the ground.
