Robert Paterson could possibly be my great great grandfather who was a police detective. My family know very little about the Patersons apart from my grandmother. Do you think there is a possibility?
Almary Povey.
B: abt 1849/50 in Minnigaff, Kirkcudbright, Scotland M: 27 Nov 1868 in Ballantrae, Ayrshire, Scotland to Jeanie 'Jane' Laurie (b. 25 Apr 1845). It would be great to get this all confirmed too.
Robert was the elder brother of my great grandfather John Paterson. Since according to John's marriage certificate his father was a police detective I thought perhaps there could be a connection here. I hope perhaps cousins but perhaps not. It seems there are a number of Patersons who were police. I have become just as interested in what people did as how they fit into the puzzle.
I will continue to research this line and who knows what will be the findings. Thank you very much for replying to me.
Almary.

Thank you for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Participation in a Pre-1700 Project is strongly encouraged for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants.
It looks like the United Kingdom Project would be a good fit with the tag you entered. Adding the tag United_Kingdom will help you get updates about activity for that project.
Do you have any questions? Let me know. I'm happy to help! :-)

What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research youd like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? This is what makes WikiTree different than most other genealogy sites: Our goal is to have one profile per person.
Once you confirm your email address, youll have an opportunity to fill in your tags to tell us about your genealogical interests.
The Tags are a way for you to connect with other genealogists on WikiTree and follow activity in the topics that interest you. You can learn more on our Tags help page.
Once you click "Save Tag(s) and Volunteer," one of our Greeters will come along to confirm your membership, and youll be on your way!
Welcome to the family! Were really glad youre here.
