Geneology - What's yours?

Hi, Todd,

Thanks, yes, he was definitely Anglican after he got here. I guess I just want to know more about the climate in Scotland at that time, and why he felt the need to leave.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Do you really trust Weis' work that much? Or is there another Weis who was active during that period whose genealogical works' accurarcy is often questioned? As I recall, the one I am thinking of attempted medieval genealogies quite a bit.

Just for fun, does he list Francis Fontaine, Williamsburg, Virginia, chaplain of the Virginia House of Burgesses, etc ?

Is there yet another genealogical society to join? Do they have a riband and medal? For some joining them is more addictive than kilts. (I, happily, have escaped that compulsion...so far.)
