Genealogical table, Finlayson family
Object detail
Brief Description
A booklet containing the final draft of the genealogical table beginning with the marriage of Peter Finlayson and Janet Sinclair, about 1755.
This table records the descendants of this marriage through their son Donald Finlayson who married Bessy Brims. It records birth, marriage and death notes for each subsequent generation. This booklet is the most complete of the various drafts of this table. Most of the record is written in one hand, but there have been later additions to the final generations. The latest date in the book is 1921, but the booklet itself is undated.
It is unsigned but the author uses himself to explain how each person is identified in the chart, through this explanation it is possible to identify him as Magnus Finlayson.
