#52 Ancestors - Week 3 NAMESAKE

 

Week 3 – Namesake

This one took some thought, but I found a couple things. 

Scott’s line –

Elizabeth Geddes – 1799

                George Geddes Lindsay – 1834

                                George Geddes Lindsay – 1871

                                                George Geddes Lindsay III - 1900

                                                                George Geddes Lindsay – 1922

                                                                                George Lindsay – (nephew) around 1975???

I didn’t know that the Geddes was a maiden name.

 

Scott’s middle name is Lindsay which is his mother’s maiden name.  Our youngest son’s middle name is Lindsay.  That son married a Filipino gal.  Her middle name is her mother’s maiden name and the same with her siblings.  That is a Filipino custom – to have the middle name be the mother’s maiden name.  We are encouraging them to do the same with their children. 

 

From my side –

Thomas Ray Burt -1884

                Ray Afton Burt – 1911

                                Ray Afton Burt Jr – 1930 (he only had daughters)

                                                Grandson Bradley Ray – 1988

                                                                Great-granddaughter – Davi Rae – abt 2005

 That was a fun exercise.
