Orr Databases
These are the databases that I have and will search for you on request. Please provide as much information as you can to help narrow down the search. Spouse and sibling details are helpful because of the naming customs adopted by very many Presbyterian families eg the use of the wife`s maiden surname and the grandmother`s as the second christian name of a child. Please remember that our ancestors traditionally used a small number of christian names, usually Robert, Samuel, Charles, James, John, Elizabeth, Mary etc . I have over 400 `William` Orrs for example and one file that runs through 10 generations of William so please try and help yourself by giving approx dates, and locations where possible.
All enquiries received or downloaded from Rootsweb Lists, web sites etc are cross referenced so that if a later match occurs I can get back to the interested party.
