Description
An effort was made to trace the line of descent from the immigrant ancestor, thus the figure above the name denotes the number of generations removed from the one who first came to Orkney, Scotland. Information has been obtained from numerous sources; town histories, genealogies, cemeteries, town clerk records, family history centers, et cetera. The greatest amount of knowledge has been gathered from descendants who have sent family records and their own family data to bring some lines down to the present time.
