Hello Samatha

I have been looking at the Donnachie boards and came across yours, if you need to do any research you can look on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk this is an official site and it will cost to look. If you know what you are looking for ie. bmd records then you can get copies by ringing New Register House on 0131 3144411.
Best of luck in your search
Regards Mary

Hello Helen
Sorry i have not been in touch sooner think i missed the message reply not checking the board, i do remember my grandad telling me the name was spelt Donnachie instead of Donachie it was either my G Grandfather or GG Grandfather that removed one of the N's but i can't ask him anymore info as he passed away earlier this year before i had chance, so now im having to try and find things out the hard way.
How do we get info on scottish relatives im having a rather hard time, my nan say's i need to go to Scotland to do more of my research.
Regards
Samantha

Hello Samantha

My name is Dunnachie and when researching my ancestors I found that there were many diffirent spellins eg Dunechy, Donaghy, Donachy to name but a few. Where exactly was your grandfather born in Scotland.

My ancestors came from Maybole, Ayrshire. There might be some distant connection!

Hope to hear from you soon to compare notes.

Regards

Helen

Hello I wonder if there is anyone out there that may know or have information on the Donachie Family (Donnachie) my beloved grandfather passed away in March of this year and this is what made me decide to begin my family tree although i have never found out any information on him as he came from Scotland, He's name Brian Bernard Donachie (i believe always remember him being called Brian) born 2nd Feb 1930, passed away 13th March 2007 if you do please do reply. Would be great to hear from you. Samantha
