Internet Archive. Accessed May 13 2020.>Robert Stewart, Earl of Orc=kney, Vol VI, pgs 572-575
John Bruce, 5th of Clackmannan
David Bruce, 6th of Clackmannan I believe his two wives, both Mariot Herries..are incorrect, according my research, so far, they are both of different and incorrect fathers.
Edward Bruce, 1st of Kinnaird his descent line has members who are INCORRECT !!!
William Bruce this line is a mess and connected incorrectly, unless I am shown proof that I am wrong?
Alexander Bruce apparently of Kildrummy according to PM. Jeanne Solity.
Andrew his son
George ,son of Andrew
and George, Andrew's 1st son
Alexander, Andrew's 2nd son Well,,,maybe not.
Apparently Kildrummy descends from Kinnaird who descend from Stenhouse and Airth.
and last but not least..the connection to Australia.
Louisa Tidball Palmer Bruce who married Gordon Bruce...

My second great-grandmother was a Bruce. I cannot find out who her parents are though. Martha L Bruce, born in Indiana in 1844. Died in Kansas City, Kansas 1896.

I have traced my (Coffey-5733) Bruce roots back to Jacques Brousse-4 who was a Huguenot and landed in Virginia in 1700 with his son Pierre via England. Jacques father was Elie Brousse-6 thought to have been born in France. Their name was changed to Bruce in the early 1700s. Would they fit in with this ONS? Any suggestions of how to connect them back to other ancestors?

I would like to join this project as my great great grandmother was Xantippia Bruce, daughter of Barnett Bruce 1779-1863, son of Benjamin Bruce 1750-1809, son of George G Bruce 1713-1787. I would like to learn more about this line as my research has hit a block with George G.

I would like to join this Project. My Mother's Maiden name is Bruce ( Bruce-12019) and according to Wikitree, I'm 19th great-grandson of Robert Bruce. (lol) Both sides of my family came from Scotland and I would certainly enjoy being part of this, my family. :)
