Hi. This is the Fife ScotlandGenWeb (E)Migrations Project and I need your help. It's all about ancestral Migration Patterns-- the movements of groups of people.
This is a project that is just getting started in America and hopefully elsewhere. The hope is that after awhile all the ScotlandGenWeb, WalesGenWeb, UKGenWeb, WorldGenWeb, USGenWeb, etc. project sites will join in.
Here is how it works:
There is a (E)MIGRATION OUT page and a (E)MIGRATION IN
page.
I would like to have from you the following info (see below for
examples):
1) Name of each migrating ancestor. Surname in all caps first, then
given name.
2) Name of the county where migrated from into Fifeshire,
ScotlandGenWeb and when. Approximate time is fine, if that's all
you have.
3) Name of the county to which migrated from Fifeshire,
ScotlandGenWeb and when. Approximate time is fine, if that's all
you have.
PS: send me other snippets if you wish, like marriage, births dates, and I will try to find a way to use them elsewhere. I just want to find ways for folks to connect!
A (E)Migration IN entry might be thus:
* BELLS, Peall N., from Isleothemyst, Scotland, about 1530 (Carol Middleton)
The (E)Migration OUT entry might be thus:
* BELLS, Rynge N., to Wyknothere Co., MD, about 1670 (Carol Middleton)
The county name will be hyperlinked to that same county site in ScotlandGenWeb or UKGenWeb, etc. The submitter's name will be added as a hyperlink to the submitter's email address.
