By Roz, on September 9th, 2007% Well hey there strangers…
Blog entries have not been my priority for a few weeks [ahem] ok, months, I know, but I have an excuse.
John and I are now Australia-based, so a few weeks were lost there, but now we’re up and running.
Regarding the Hendersons: if John has been a good husband he will have uploaded the latest tree, which includes a vastly updated section of the descendants of John Crosbie Aitken Henderson. It seems my great grandmother (the ever-elusive Daisy Henderson) was the youngest of a large brood, the descendants of which still keep in contact with . . . → Read More: Information overload: more posts to follow on Hendersons and on Inglis
By Roz, on February 11th, 2007% As my esteemed husband has written below, our trees, transferred in from Family Historian 3.1, are now live and browsable on this site.

From trawling such sites as rootsweb, genforum, ancestryaid etc, I know that there are a lot of people out there interested in genealogy and desperate to gather information on ancestors.

It is, as I suspected, a surname of one of her ancestors: her father (John Crosbie Aitken Henderson) was the son of John Aitken Henderson and Isabella Crosbie. Isabella Crosbie’s parents were John Crosbie and Jean DOUGLAS. I know very little about these two people, apart from the fact that they married each other on 20th . . . → Read More: New Year, Same Tree
By Roz, on November 15th, 2006% I’ve been trying to determine if Daisy Douglas Crosbie Henderson had any siblings aside from the Jessie Henderson we already knew about.
Daisy’s father was John Crosbie Aitken Henderson, and her mother was…ok, we still haven’t determined that for sure, but anyway, the point of this post is about the specificity (lovely word) of searches on internet search engines, for example Google.
When looking for a person, say, John Crosbie Aitken Henderson, you may be tempted to search for “John Crosbie Aitken Henderson” (note the speechmarks). In this case, the only site returned would be this one. If on the . . . → Read More: Handy Hint #1: Internet search parameters
