My family history Posted by Ian Hugh Fraser on 23 June 2009 Mr. Fraser, My name is Jeff Frazier, and I stumbled upon your post on the Kiltarlity Community Council website. I am descended from a Thomas Frazier, who was born in Scotland, and settled in North Carolina before 1750. Little is known about Thomas, aside from his birth in Scotland, and his emigration to the American Colonies at an "early age." He is thought to have settled briefly in Pennsylvania before moving to North Carolina, where he had seven children with his wife Mary. I have many distant cousins here in the States who have been trying to get past Thomas -- our genealogical "brick wall" -- for nearly 20 years! I have been reading all the information I can find on the Fraser families in Scotland, to see if I can find our ancestor among the stories of those who left Scotland for America. I am currently trying to prove/disprove that Thomas Frazier is in fact Thomas Fraser, born in 1728 in Inverness. He is the son of Thomas Fraser, a merchant in Inverness, and his wife Jean Paterson, daughter of Matthew Paterson of Bught. Thomas Fraser (the merchant) was the 2nd son of Thomas Fraser, 2nd of Boblainy & Anna MacBean. Since you mentioned your descent from William Fraser of Boblainy, I couldn't resist writing to you to request any information you might have regarding the Frasers of Boblainy in general, and specifically Thomas Fraser (b. 1728). Sincerely, Jeff Frazier Posted by Jeff Frazier on 23 April 2010  old churchyard kiltarlity my father has researched our family tree and visited my great grandfather Duncan campbell late foxhunter ross shire (several times removed)who is buried in kiltarlity old churchyard with his wife euphemia mctavish.On tuesday 14th april 2009 i visited for myself after first mistakingly visiting tomnacross,actually passing the old churchyard twice and crossing the river by the fish ladder twice,i eventually spoke to a worker on the lovat estate,where i had also managed to wander and managed to find it.just wondered in the off chance if anyone had any other info?,its a long shot but would be delighted to hear anything.thanks Simon campbell aberdeen.p.s. thanks to lady in post office whom i asked for directions but what a hard place to find,i eventually really just stumblede upon it Posted by simon duncan campbell on 17 April 2009 Robert Waugh I would love to hear from anyone who remembers my father, Robert "Bob" Waugh (1928-1988), who was farmed out with the Fraser family in the early 1930s and I know attended the local primary school. He returned to Glasgow in the 1940s but did make occasional return visits, including at least one wedding, to Kiltarlity. I met a Mary Fraser when I visited Kiltarlity in 1997, who kindly allowed me to copy a photo of a family wedding in which my father was pictured, but unfortunately this copy was lost in a later house move. Any information from anyone who can remember my father would be appreciated. Posted by Gerry Waugh on 15 December 2008 Robert Waugh 1928-1988 I am seeking any information on my late father, Robert Waugh, who spent his early life "farmed out" (fostered)with the Fraser family in Kiltarlity and I know attended the primary school in the early 1930s. He moved back to Glasgow, his birthplace, some time in the 1940s, although I don't know exactly when. He had two brothers, Bill and Alec, who I believe also grew up in this area, but I am not certain. I did visit Kiltarlity once, in 1997 and met a Mary Fraser who gave me a copy of a photograph of Hugh Fraser's wedding, with my father in the photo, which was unfortunately lost during a house move. Any information from anyone who knew of or remembers my father would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards Iain Posted by Iain Maclean on 29 May 2010 William Campbell MVO on 16 September 2007 TRACING THE ANCESTORS on 09 June 2007 Pylons Having been told of the Scottish and Southern Energy plans for these huge and dangerous pylons in your area I wish you every success with your campaign. All I can say is that they have neither care of the environment or the people of your area. Good Luck!! Posted by Sue Thompson on 30 November 2005 |
