Update JUNE 2007 by Tricia Barnett
A Sutherland Family from Watten Parish, Caithness - descended from
William Sutherland (b abt 1685 - ) of Catchery in Watten Parish,
Caithness, Scotland,
It is with deep sadness that I have to advise of the death of William
(Bill) Murray Sutherland on 28 May 2007. Bill was the person who started
this website
http://www3.telus.net/kamuwija/default.htm and he aimed to update it
regularly with his last update being this May. He had a great passion for
working on the Family Tree and felt a real kinship for all of the people
included in it - he was proud to call them his family.
William b 1685 had a son William b1716 who married Janet Murray. They had
12 known children - 3 of whom we follow on the website below

Contact email addresses included in Sutherland Website:
http://www3.telus.net/kamuwija/default.htm
It is hoped to continue to update this regularly. If you should have any
> marriages, births, deaths, links, etc., to report, kindly please advise
me at tricia.barnett@btinternet.com
and I will happily ensure they are recorded in the next update.
Currently I am checking out possible connections to other children of
William and Janet.
One such query :
Was Ann Sutherland who married Francis Bremner the same Ann b 1757 to
William and Janet?
Updated 1 May 2005
From W M (Bill) Sutherland See above Bill

carryout research you can now get all of the 1901 census online.
Started 2 January 2002 and you may have guessed its already crashed due to
heavy demand.

huge number of people who came from all over the world and in exactly what
numbers. The ferries run from Battery Park regularly all day at the
