My name is Lesley
Bray & I would like to extend a warm welcome to my Bray & McGilvery
Genealogy web site. This site is very new and a lot of data is yet to be
uploaded; it eventually contain the wealth of genealogical history that
I've collected over the past 25 years. As it progresses, I will branch out
into the Nixon, Dougan, Doull, Parnemann, McClelland and Erhart families.
I guess the purpose of this site is to preserve our family heritage and
make it freely available for our younger generation. I believe the stories
and photos are precious and will be lost if we fail to record the events
of lifetimes. I invite anyone who is interested in these families to please
consider contributing. Over the coming year, I am gradually handing these
pages and my research over to my niece, Telissa, and she will replace me
as the 'family historian'.
You will notice
we have endeavoured to protect the data of those people who are living.
We would like to work on the system of give and take - if you take any data
from this site please repay by contributing what you know of your family
history. Equally please inform us of any errors. Be aware that it is impossible
to have completely accurate information, for that reason I suggest you check
primary sources. I would not like to see this site become a conglomeration
of names and dates, would much prefer photos and histories, no matter how
seemingly unimportant. Therefore if you have photos or documents, or a story
to tell, please contact either Telissa
Duggan or myself, Lesley Bray.
Furthermore, I look forward to sharing the information, after all, this
site wouldn't be here but for the generosity of others. The only thing I
ask is that you acknowledte this site in your credits and most importantly
I do NOT want to see my research show up on sites for commercial gain ie
World Family Tree, Roots Web, Gen Circles etc. You will notice I am not
up to date with my sources, given time this will be remedied.
