Hello, listers! New to the list, and so I thought I would introduce myself.
I have been doing genealogical research for a number of years, but retired in January, and am therefore hoping to have MUCH more time to do devote to it! I am 56, a biologist by training, and worked for many years in the environmental sector. I love to garden, canoe-camp, and paint with pastels, as well as doing genelogical research and reading social history that helps me put my genealogical discoveries into context. I am married, with no children, and live in Canada's (cold) Capital City, Ottawa, with my DH (*Dear husband*) who has ZERO interest in genealogy, and our Terrier, Geordie.
The names I am researching, with locations and timeframes, include the following:
SHARPE, ALEXANDER, BROWN, ELLIOT in Scotland <1826;
CALLAWAY, PITTAM in Warwickshire & Northamptonshire <1843;
HIRAM in England < 1824;
PAGE, THWAITES in England <1851;
WILSON in Westmeath, Ireland <1832;
TWEEDY in Wexford, Ireland <1832;
McMILLAN in Ireland <1861;
BAILEY in Ireland <1818;
MACKENZIE of Gairloch and Lochend in Scotland <1836.
