Re: Are these your Sinclair ancestors???
Hi
Just read your information regarding Sinclair ancestors. I think my Sinclair ancestors start from Helen Roy Sinclair and I have managed to get as far as far as Mungo .I think maybe to the 1700s . Haven't participated in a genealogy forum before so not sure how this will go. Only new at tracing my family lines.

Hi DeborahJ
to Talking Scot. Sounds as though it may have been worthwhile joining us
Don't worry about being new to family research. We all were at first and learned as we went along. When you have questions don't hesitate to ask no matter how simple/stupid/ poorly thought out YOU think it is. Every question asked can help another newcomer and we have all asked (still ask sometimes
) for help and guidance. Gary started out a beginner fairly recently and asked plenty of questions but now has a mass of information. If you click on his name and bring up all his posts you will see how busy he was
Hope he comes on to TS soon to link up with you.

I was interested in your Mary Sinclair b 1740 and where she came from. One of my 5th great grandmothers was a Mary Sinclair. She would have been born c1740, based on her marriage to Robert Sand[s] at Arbroath, Angus on 1st May 1760.

Re: Are these your Sinclair ancestors???
Mary was born in Comrie, Perthshire, as was all her siblings and then when we get to sinclairs at 1794-1851 they are all born in Crieff, Perthshire 
does she have the same parents as mine does?

Great to see the progress you have made in such a short time. I raised an eyebrow when I read 'CAN ONLY GET BACK TO 1723'.
Had you been watching a New Zealand TV programme called THE MISSING PIECE this last week, you would have seen how a high profile TV news reader / presenter and his Father, did not know the family history two generations back. The problems that arise when young lovers, from either side of the racial divide, created out of wedlock children. Exacerbated by the Maori Wars, over land rights inequities.

Re: Are these your Sinclair ancestors???
That's my problem, Gary. I don't know who my Mary's parents were. I have always suspected they were Angus folk.
