Hello Robert, and welcome to TalkingScot. I recently found a Petrie cousin in Angus. I am still filling in the blank spaces. This line begins with an Alexander, but calculating the generations [specific dates are not known yet] this Alexander would have been born about 1880. I’ll keep up with you as I receive more information from Scotland. The holidays have sort of sidetracked us on the family history.
Regards,
Catherine
