Hi Joan
I have been onto my SA contacts. The late John Kinsey Geekie did quite a bit of research on the Geekies and I have copies of the rough family trees he drew up. He clearly traced us back to the father of the Alexander Geekie who married Agnes Doig. This was another Alexander Geekie who married Ann Gibb. On Kinsey's chart he has written Alexander's birth as 1711 and his marriage to Ann Gibb as 1750, but doesn't say where he got these dates from. Above this (ie earlier) he has more names which appear to be siblings for Alexander, and at the side he has listed 3 even earlier Geekies, possibly parents? It's very frustrating/tantalising! Kinsey also spent quite some time tracking down graves, and obviously must have found information which isn't included in online sites.
Re Agnes Doig who married Alexander Geekie in 1783 we can trace that line back further through the wonderful Doig website
www.doig.netThis takes our Doig connection right back to Patrick Doig b circa 1630 Nevay Angus died 1680 Nevay Angus married to Isobel Green!
You are welcome to copies of Kinsey's charts but I will need to work on scanning them as they are on large sheets of paper. Once I've done that I'll attach and send them.
Cheers
