| How we all got here... In 1970's my cousin "Doc" started this journey to discover our Peddie roots and our family history. On this page I'll describe our "known" family's roots. According to my dad the t's were changed to d's in Peddie making our really ancient known kin really hard to find. In 1835 our ancestors were from Perth Scotland then moved onto Ontario Canada in 1852. We came to the USA abt 1877 and settling in the Thumb of Michigan,some stayed and settled,meanwhile some moved on to other areas here in the states including Calfornia, Florida, Texas. |
