From pages 259 and 260 of Oor Ain Folk:
John was next on the list. In some respect he was perhaps the best equipped, intellectually, of the whole family. He was set apart by the old couple for the ministry. He passed through his university course with distinction; took the degree of Master of Arts; received his theological training in the Free Church College, and while yet very young was appointed to the charge of the . . . → Read More: Oor Ain Folk: John Knox Inglis (1849-1878)

Firstly – Psychology 101.
When I first set up my family tree on www.ancestry.co.uk I created it as a “Private Tree”. At some point later, it got accidentally saved as a “Public Tree” and therefore available to the whole world to view. Not a problem in itself, apart from the fact that some annoying “feature” of the tree is that you cannot tell it specifically who is alive and therefore who should be marked as “Living” – the tree displayed all my grandfathers’ details despite the . . . → Read More: Ramble…
