  1. Trying out a family history challenge this year called #52Ancestors involving a blog each week about an ancestor. This week my blog is on my 2 x gt gf John Scotland, Town Officer at #Culross , Fife. It involves a tale of emigration to the US & return. His family went on to serve the town in the role of Town Officer right up to 1974!!
    Culross is better known today as a filming location for the television series #outlander.

  2. Just over four years ago I completed the #52Ancestors challenge (well 43 anyway). This was one of the blogs I most enjoyed writing. It was about James Slater (1890-1967) born and died in #Orkney, worked in #NewZealand, served in their #ArmedForces, #innovator, fond of #HeavyHorses, dour, determined - my grandfather. #FamilyHistory #Geneadons #Scotland @genealogy Link includes recording of him - rather spartan replies!) janealogy.co.uk/blog/52ancesto
