William Sinclair has been my brick wall for so long and just the other day i was poking around over at Family search and went on my tree there - not very extensive , but William is my mother's mother's mother's father - not that far back - so I was looking at some sources and then went on my tree to see how one person connected and here they had a set of parents on there for ole William - and we looked - a cousin I met back in the old message boards when I first began research in the old dial up modem days with my Windows 98 computer and trips to the Library and sending off to county seats for birth certificates and such - some of you will remember - anyhow never did we find the link back from the man who came from Orkney Scotland to work with Fur Traders in what would become northern North Dakota and southern Manitoba with many from Scotland and married a half First Nations lady and now maybe these are the correct parents - do not feel like I can trust myself to add them quite yet - but they are:
Hugh Sinclair and Barbara Knarston from Orphir, Orkney, Scotland - he was christened 28 Aug 1737 she was christened 14 Dec 1752 and their wedding was 7 Jul 1785
William I had always as born in 1788, but the birth record has him 9 Jun1786 all of the above in Orphir
do I add them, or is it still unsure?
And yes I do need to improve this profile, have learned a lot since I created his profile back a year and a half or so ago - but am I jumping on a possible or is it really his beginning?
