Hi Diane,
Just within the last week I've traced my Dad's Guild line back to 1798 in the Forfar/Angus region of Scotland. Family 'myth' had us from Dundee, but records show Forfar. This information is so new to me, I've not been able to cross check, but it's a great first step. The information I found on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk. Here's what I have beginning with my grandfather, Herbert Allan Ward Guild:
Herbert Allan Ward Guild b. 9/28/1883 (we had thought his birth year was 1888) Forfar, Scotland; d. 1/30/1948 Vancouver, BC Canada; Brother William Shand b. 8/17/1888 and Sister Mabel Campbell b. 2/18/1892. Herbert may have traveled to Canada on March 30, 1907 on the steamer Sicilian of the Allan Line Mail Steamers, departing Glasgow arriving Halifax. May have gone to Moosejaw, but I know he settled in Kamloops BC where he married Lydia Lindberg of Sweden, 12/20/1915.
Herbert son of James Guild and Jane Ann (Linn) Guild, James & Jane Ann married 9/14/1882. James residence posted as London; Jane Ann as District of St. Vigeans, County of Forfar.
James Guild son of William Guild d. 8/13/1871 and Mary Ann (Ogilvy) Guild d. 8/8/1887.
Jane Ann (Linn) Guild daughter of John Linn and Elizabeth (Campbell) Guild
William Guild son of Abram (or Abraham?) Guild d. 6/17/1868 age 70 and Janet (Barry) Guild d. 1867 age 60. Abram & Janet married 10/28/1827 I think in Forfar.
Mary Ann (Ogilvy) Guild daughter of Peter & Mary Ogilvy.
Thats where I am right now and I'll be following the branches in the near future. Any information you or anyone else may have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
