GEDCOMs

or GEnealogical Data COMmunication files

The links below are to files that contain data about my LINKLATER ancestors from ORKNEY. I have included links to some other related genealogical data that might be of interest to anyone who has navigated this far up the creek. They are all ‘as found’; unedited, no guarantees etc apart from my own GEDCOM which caused my software [which I would not recommend to anyone !] to raise its electronic eyebrows. These ‘warnings’ appear in the lower table. When/if answers are forthcoming I shall correct the Warnings. If you have any information, corrections, hints, advice etc I would be very please to hear from you - especially if you have any images!

Info about Chandler, Glanville and Melville all from Lucy de Rios. 701 and 728 relate to Sally's ancestors on the Simmonds side. 269 is an Orkney ancestor and the data, checked with that held by OFHS, is probably correct. John was the last of 9 children.
