Hallo, I have some questions about an ancestor of mine George Wardlaw, born year 1600 and son of Henry Wardlaw first baronet of Pitreavie.
George is born year 1600 is the year correct? Is there any record of an exact date of birth?
George is Married to Anna, or possibly Anne, Forbes I guess that they were married in Scotland but when and where?
Does someone have any further information about Anna Forbes?
In the records is information that Anna and George had three sons but I can only find one, John Wardlaw what about the other two?
About Georges son John or Johan Wardlaw I have an exact date of death but there is no record of his birth date. Do someone know Johans date and place of birth?
Hoping for answers

Hello Erik, and a warm welcom ![[talkingscot]](./images/smilies/talkingscot.png "[talkingscot]")
I've done a quick look on Familysearch.org, which is a free variation of Ancestry. It doesn't give up much information, but you might like to have a poke around until better suggestions come along.
When entering George Wardlaw of Scotland married to Anne Forbes one record comes up. That is a reference to the birth of George himself, but results in no connecting marrriage record to Anna Forbes.

Questions about 1) what are the records to which you refer here? Which way on the chart are you going? It is often more productive to start with what you know for certain (or as certain as we can get) before delving into ancient records.Erik wrote: 1) In the records is information that Anna and George had three sons but I can only find one, John Wardlaw what about the other two?
