Mystery 1
The biggest mystery has been the birth of G-Grandfather William Scott. It seems I have scoured every database, list, and church birth record in Newfoundland. His obituary only says 1883, but I have been working from this document that says September 1882. It's a draft card of a "William John Scott" in Rochester and the wife is "Eliza." Could be a coincidence. There were a ton of Eliza Scotts back then.
In Newfoundland genealogy records, I've found a Willliam John Scott born in 1885 and a William Scott born August 1882.

Unknown girl with Eliza Buttery Scott is Hilda Jane Amey Castricone. - From her granddaughter - Gina M. Ross
ReplyDeleteThank you, cousin Gina! Your mom and I came to the same conclusion this afternoon! We think it was around 1925 when she lived with the Scotts. My grandfather is standing behind her.
DeleteI am researching SCOTTS in St. John's and am wondering f you might have any connection to them

Hi! A few years ago when I started my research I was focused on all of the Scott's in that area for a long time until I found my clan in fortune Bay. I remember there was a Facebook page for newfoundland Scotts. Google it and u will probably get answers!
DeleteU r probably running into barriers with the common names. I also had an ancestor named Thomas Scott. It's nearly impossible to trace him without a middle name, too.
