Member Since: December 2004 Posts: 17 Send Message	Hi I have a George Paul Christie born around 1878. Married in Stamford Lincs in 1919 and died in Stamford 1949 age 70. I can find no trace of his birth. Could I have Scottish blood in me? Thanks for any help you can give. Donna.

	George Christie is a popular name in Scotland. Does not come up with any matches on ScotlandsPeople using full name. Maureen

Member Since: November 2004 Posts: 50 Send Message	Hi Donna Ive had a quick look on Scotlands People for you. In 1878 there are 8 George Christie's and between 1877-1879 there are 2 pages with 29 George Christie's. If you really think he was born in Scotland it may be worth buying some credits. 30 credits cost £6. Carole
