Thanks for that encouraging post.
I mailed mine off with a money order a while ago and am eagerly awaiting a package with some interesting info.
Mail is rather slow between Canada and US so I won't hold my breath waiting but expect it will arrive one of these days.........

It arrived today

I can say I am very pleased with the quality and so glad to know that this service is available.

(It was slow because I sent it by snail mail with a US money order)

With one of the requested references they even sent me the front two pages of the register "just thought you might like to have it too" printed on a post it note

I am one very happy camper today!

Some went back to 1590! I just could not read that apart from the date!
As you go through you learn so much & I had an explanation as to why all the children were born in varying places(no I didn't find any) but as I read the Death Registers for CrawfordJohn(where my GGGreat-Grandfather John Veitch was born ) I came across several mentions of Strangers who died in the area.AHHHH his Father was an Ostler & this must have been an old drover trail-one of the stranger deaths was a drover herding cattle.They included the death of a Sailor now a beggar who said he came from the Parish of Ayr & included his tatoos-this is late 1700's early 1800's.They were all interred in the Churchyard & it made me realise that maybe people were not as compassionless as I had thought them to be then.There is mention of someone brought to the home of so& so where he/she died. It had me greeting to think that even then someone might have been fretting over the fate of a loved one & never knowing they had died but at least laid to rest in a pleasant place.
The names kept repeating & I charted a Birth,Marriage & Birth of Children & then Death of one girl.
The children's ages(Deaths) were charted as e.g. two years,six months,nineteen years & again it made me realise that Death of a child was a mourned & marked occasion or maybe just these Record Keepers were particularly caring people.
Well worth the £2.40 even if I didn't find any of mine on it!

Hi
Just found this site, wow!

I wonder if we may be researching branches of the same family?
I am descended from William Veitch =Isabella Hislop . 1844 Peebles.
They had eight known children including John, and William born 1856 who was my GGgrandfather.

Regards

Glad this method is working for all. I have been pleased with the service and speed.

No- none of my Yuill's made it to Canada. Seems they stayed in Brooklyn and Staten Island.

I would think not since it costs about $30 to clear a foreign (Non-US) check here. Do you have the capability to get a money order some place or

email to help@productsupport.familysearch.org and ask how you can pay.

Also the phone is 801-240-3511.
