The Cheyne Family History Web Page
This page was developed to honor
all Cheyne family members. It is hoped that all the individual
histories of each of us can be consolidated into this common point.
I have spent many thousands of hours compiling these data. Many,
many others have provided additional data on their Cheyne or
associated families that have helped make this page what it is
today. Their help is gratefully acknowledged. Your help,
corrections, additions or suggestions are welcome and encouraged.
We are attempting to link every civil, church, military or other
record which contains a Cheyne with a person. If a record was found
of an Alexander Cheyne in the Banff Sheriff Court in 1532; he would
be placed herein as Alexander Cheyne in Banff, son of Unlinked
Cheynes in Banff, until other information is obtained to show his
true identity. I have ignored records that provide too little
information to even begin; like the Mrs. Cheyne, found on a
passenger list in New York, no given name, no age, no other Cheynes
aboard, no idea where she came from other than the ship originally
came from France.
The constructions of some of the 15th and 16th century Aberdeenshire
families are not genealogically pure. You will find the words
probably and assumed used many times. Please be very careful in
quoting these as fact.
Looking for the perfect family gift? I am pleased to announce that
you can now obtain a DVD of that portion of this WebSite pertaining
to your family only. You may add additional family members and
photographs and include living people. Those living will only be on
your DVD and will not be published to the Web.
Or do you need help obtaining certain documents or basic research in
the Scotland, Wales, England, Canada and/or the United States? I
may be able to help.

I
depart as air, I shake my white locks at the runaway sun;
I effuse my flesh in eddies, and drift it in lacy jags;
I bequeath myself to the dirt, to grow from the grass I love;
If you want me again, look for me under your boot-soles.
You will hardly know who I am or what I mean,
But I shall be good health to you nevertheless,
And filter and fibre your blood.
Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged,
Missing me one place search another,
I stop somewhere waiting for you.
--- Walt Whitman, Song of Myself.
