Old SPOTTISWOODE Family Genealogical Records created by Joseph (Joe) Spottiswoode HOPKIRK(1858-1950)
We are fortunate that Joe HOPKIRK was
always interested in family history. Below are links to his
mother's(Agnes Spottiswoode) family history.
After searching genealogical sites all over the internet, most of the oldest dates have never been seen before.
Joe communicated by mail for decades
with his uncle Robert SPOTTISWOODE's family back in Gattonside,
Scotland, and that is probably how he got his mother's family history.
This is the first page of SPOTTISWOODE information.
