Progress Report:
I have been to Scotland and have visited our ancesters home town, very small but with lots of character, wrote and received a letter from a Robbie McLeish the local Historian, and he is looking into more on our ancesters at his end. The Latter Day Saints has most of the data collected on the Waddell's, and I have found a second family in the same villiage with some of the children with the same names as our ancesters. Met with cousins there, their line begins with George Waddle our ancesters brother, so we do have that line finished. We also heard from Connie Bailey who's ancester is William Waddell one of the other brothers. Scotland is a beautiful place, and the people very friendly. Now that we have the book finished which I have to say is one of the nicest put out, we are still looking for more to add, for the second half, along with any corrections from the first..pictures are also welcome...........Click pic for more info

Helping with the preparation of the "Waddell Book" over the past two years has been not only a great challenge, but a fascinating and rewarding experience. Forty-two years ago, I had the good fortune to marry a woman whose maiden name was Geraldine Vivien Waddell. Gerri's mother, Ethel Viola Waddell, was born at Reeds Point. My wife, our children and their children are now able to trace their ancestry back to James Alexander Waddell, who came from Scotland to Reeds Point in southern New Brunswick, Canada in the year 1819.......Click pic for more info
 
 

There is one thing that you might notice, the family skills
have been passed from generation to generation -- mechanic, machinist,
mill worker, electrician, and jack of all trades and master of most of them.
