Biography

I was born and raised in California, and still live there. I am a retired payroll specialist. I also have a Ph.D. in ancient Near Eastern languages from UC Berkeley (I can read them but not speak them...).

I've been interested in my family's history since I was young, but this was before internet (well, before personal computers!) so I couldn't really do any research, other than to sit down with my grandmothers and write down what they knew of their parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, in-laws, etc. etc. They told me quite a lot, and it's turned out to be 99% accurate now that I'm able to look up the records. I joined Wikitree so that I can make this information available to others, as well as to learn more about my own family.

Descendant
Descendant of PGM migrant Richard Holden.

Sue Rattray and others interested in Pyot family https://www.ebooksread.com/authors-eng/scotland-commissariot-brechin/the-commissariot-record-of-brechin-register-of-testaments-1576-1800-volume-pt-cer/page-2-the-commissariot-record-of-brechin-register-of-testaments-1576-1800-volume-pt-cer.shtml this link takes you to Barclay, Alexander - relict Agnes Pyot - of Syde in the Parish of Stracathro - deceased by 1581 - I live at Syde and found this researching the history of my house - later in 1642 there was a George Pyot living here with his spouse Margaret Low - i think i found that on https://www.ancestor.abel.co.uk/Angus/Stracathro.html whether they are related i don't know - it is the Barclays that i am looking at. I have a testament dative for Agnes Pyot as well if anyone would like it

Thanks for your note, Sue. Communication before linking profiles is the way to go. Share with them the source that you have found which identifies the pair so that they can evaluate it also. Shouldn't be any trouble.

Hi Sue,

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, collaborating with the projects which coordinate them is essential. You can learn about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.

The Puritan Great Migration Project may fit your research focus. If not, use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find other possibilities. Review the project page to learn how to collaborate with the project members.

Have questions? Click my name, then ask in the comments on my profile.
