Happy Aloha Friday!

Aloha Everyone!


I have been neglecting my blog as of late; so much going on here in the islands that I haven't been making time to do much research. I search here and there but haven't spent the man hours on researching as I have in past months. I have had requests of displaying the Cornett family tree on my blog, but since it is so extensive, it would have to be sectioned off into different postings! 


Sad to say, I'm still trying to locate information on Alexander Sutherland and have been in contact with researchers in the Edinburgh area of Scotland but it looks like he just disappeared into thin air. Who was this man? Why can I not find him anywhere? He has become such a mystery, that he makes me so much more curious and the need to find him is driving me crazy! Have you come across a brick wall that just won't budge?


Any ideas to share?

Who Were Samuel James Sutherland's Parents?

From my last posting, I explained that Samuel J Sutherland was my 5th G-grandfather. I know who his parents are as far as their names go and when they were born, but I have nothing else to go on. This is what I have so far :). 
  • Fathers Name: Albert James Sutherland, born on March 21,1693--(Midlothian, Edinburgh, Scotland); he died on April 16, 1759
  • Mothers Name: Adeline Russell, born circa 1695,  in Edinburgh,Scotland. 
There has to be some type of information out there somewhere! If you can help, please leave me a comment on this posting.
