    Hi Sateah,

    No reference to Alexander Trotter. The list only goes up to 1846 so can't help with Jane.

    Regards,
    John

    Hello John
    This is a wonderful initiative of yours.
    I wonder if there are any entries for Robertson/Robson/Robeson? Mainly from Greenland.

    Please contact me on my personal e-mail john.durham5@btinternet.com as all the Robertsons from Greenland are on my family tree. My great-grandmother was Elizabeth Robertson (1841-1920). We must have a family connection.

    Hi Domino
    The 1836 Traill Estate map shows one croft at Brough occupied by G Ronn. and another croft occupied by Ronaldn. Both probably abbreviations for Ronaldson.

    George,

    Many years since we last communicated. Peter became a father at long last at age 42! He met his partner Kirsty on the Internet and they have two children, Morgan aged 5 and Lily Grace, aged 2 next month.

    As for your Gairs I only have two entries for you: -

    12 Nov 1800 - wife of Donald Geir - 2/- for Bell & Mort Cloth
    7 Mar 1821 - John Geir - 2/- for Bell & Mort Cloth

    Mamie,

    You are in luck. She is entered simply as wife of John Shearer, Barrock. The payment of 2/- to cover the cost of a mortcloth and the ringing of the bell was recorded on 26 May 1834.

    Thanks very much John. I and a couple of others will be pleased with additonal information.

    Now do you have anything on James Campbell, lived in Brough, married to Ann Mckay died after 1825 and before 1841 I would think.

    Default STEVEN/STIVIN/STEPHEN burials in Nether GreenLand

    Hello
    I am researching our family which we have traced to 1797 and a John Steven, recorded in his baptism registration in church as John Stivin, son of Magnus Steven), born about 1797 in Dunnet, Caithness. do you have any Steven/Stivin or Stephen burials recorded for Dunnet - if so I would be very interested in finding out more about Magnus Steven, from Nether GreenLand, who was baptized on the 22 March, 1761. His father was recorded as a John Stivin/Stephen. I think John was born about 1738, and married Elizabeth Dunnet. Thank you so much,

    Ruth.(Missouri, USA)
