Subject: [IMPORTANT] RootsWeb Upgrading to New
To: LISTADMINS-ANNOUNCE-L(a)rootsweb.com
Resent-From: LISTADMINS-ANNOUNCE-L(a)rootsweb.com
Resent-Sender: LISTADMINS-ANNOUNCE-L-request(a)rootsweb.com
Beginning Monday, 10 June 2002, RootsWeb will begin the complex and
time-consuming process of upgrading our servers to new hardware.
o What does this mean for you? Well, it means some servers will be
unavailable during this time unavailable and we are asking for your
patience.
For up-to-date information about the different resources, you can
visit http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/ as the move progresses.
o List Administrators: When the time comes to move list servers,
we will be halting operation on the machine to complete the move.
We expect to have the machines down the least amount of time
possible. No mail will be sent from or posted to your mailing
lists. We do not expect to lose any messages.
o Board Administrators: Nothing, unless your board happens to be
gatewayed to a mailing list then the information for list
administrators apply.
o Web Pages: FTP will be down so that changes can't be made to
pages until everything is working correctly on the new servers.
There will be a short time that the pages will not be available as
the transfer takes place.
Thank you for your patience and understanding while we go through a
few "growing pains."

Has anyone come accross Kelli Leanne Cochrane? I found a message dated Dec 2000 om @homeguestbook, but her e-mail address no longer seems to be being used and the site is no longer active.
Kelli, if you're out there, you have a hotmail message as detailed below!Hi Kelli
Imagine my amazement that following a random Google search on William Cochrane and Janet Burnet, that I should come upon your message detailed below.
****Hi, fellow Cochrane's. I too am tracing back my family history. My g-g-grandfather was
John Scott Cochrane. He married Jennet Amos Laidlaw April 29, 1909. John Scott's
mother was Margret Cochrane. She had three brothers, all of them from Scotland: There
was Thomas Cochrane the oldest b.feb 23, 1843, John Cochrane b.aug 1, 1844, William
Cochrane b.jan 18, 1848. Margret was the youngest b.may 10, 1851. Margret's parents
were William Cochrane b.mar 1, 1805 and Janet Burnet b.nov 14, 1810; they were
married 1842 at Ashkirk, ?. I have family registers and birth certificates which waswhere I
got all of the above information from. We know that when Margret's family came
overseas the brothers settled around Cold Water, Michigan. Margret came to Manitoba. If
anyone knows any information on the desendents of any of Margret's brother's or anything
else that maybe useful in helping me complete my family tree please contact me at
kelli_leanne(a)hotmail.com ."****
I'll fill you in on what I have as there are some discrepancies.
Starting back with William Cochrane and Janet Burnett, married 22.4.1842. I have in Melrose (Scottish Borders). Where is Ashkirk?
Of them, I have known children of John Cochrane b 1.8.1844 in Stow and Thomas Cochrane b 23.2.1843 in Stow. This is presumably where your Margaret would fit in as the younger sister. I knew nothing of her or the brother William. Thomas was my gg grandfather.
Thomas married Elizabeth Renton (b 15.12.1847 Lauder) in Ladhope, Galashiels in 1868. The had the following children all in Ladhope;
William 30.11.1868
John and George (twins) 19.3.1871
Phillis 9.6.1872
Janet 1877
Thomas 1881
George 12.11.1874 - My g grandfather.
Maggie 1883
Of the children I assume the twins died young as the name George was reused in 1874 and I found no record of the twins in the 1881 census.
The father Thomas worked as a foreman in the woolen mills and most of the children also worked in the mills. Family tale has it that William, the eldest son, moved to West Lothian and Thomas, the son emigrated to Texas and married a Mexican woman but I have no evidence on either.
Elizabeth Cochrane nee Renton died in 1883, prehaps as a result of the birth of Maggie.
George Cochrane married Christina Mitchell (b 1875, Govan, Glasgow) in St Andrew, Edinburgh on 20. 9.1895. The had 9 children who survived with atleast one if not two childhood deaths. The youngest of these children was my grandmother Esther Cochrane b 6.8.1913, d 11.6.1994.
I am so thrilled to have found your message and would love to learn more of the ancestry you have traced. I am also fascinated as to what family records you have - would it be possible to scan them and send me a copy?
You say that your Margaret came to America and her brothers did also. Do you have any idea of when they emigrated? Thomas appears to have settled in Ladhope atleast until his children were born and his wife died in 1883, but after that I don't know. Perhaps it was only John and William who emigrated with Margaret?
Please get in touch soon as this is the sort of connection that makes geneology so exciting.
Regards from one Cochrane line to another!
Laura
NB Just realised, we may be listing dates differently. UK trend is to put day, month, year.

I'm trying to find out something about my gg-gm, Agnes Cochrane. Her maiden name was either Curry or Forest. She married John M. Cochrane in NYC in 1830. She was born in Ayr, Scotland on April 24, 1811 and died at Mt. Moriah, MO on Sept. 25, 1889.
