This section contains fascinating
historic and genealogical detail and includes database
resources covering Durie family events.
It draws information from old
parish registers (OPR) from the mid-1500s to 1854,
statutory records from 1855 and the censuses from 1841
to 1911.amongst other records. These data have been compiled from a variety
of sources and in many cases involved a comparison of
ScotlandsPeople,
Ancestry.com and other databases against the original records.
Not everyone is in there – some
may have been mis-transcribed, for example as Davie
or Dairy, or completely missed.
This section is continually
being expanded and will include later records, where
law and the EU and UK Data Protection laws allow, so this is
an area to which you may want to return often.
There is a
Durie
Family Tree, built using The Next Generation (TNG)
software, showing the family's
descent from the first Duries in the 1200s via the
documented Richard de Doure ca. 1400.
There is also access to the
Durie DNA Surname Project at Family Tree DNA (www.familytreedna.com/public/Durie).
Joining the Project is only available to those who
have taken a FTDNA Y-DNA test and have a FTDNA log-in.
