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
Peter Sutherland (b 1761 Watten - d 1823 Clyde River, NS, Canada)

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

New England & Wales 1901 Census Web Site
For England & Wales this will be one of the big sites
this year. Whereas previously a trip to London was required or
paying someone to 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.

If you visit in person you can see the museum and the 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 end of Manhatten Island. The trip usually includes the Statue
of Liberty on a separate island. If you want to use the
facilities for looking up information go early and allow plenty of
time. Last Ferry of the day in winter is about 4.00pm
Staff are very helpful but this is a very busy tourist destination.
