Hi Richard
Well for what it's worth I'm Christina's half 3rd great grandnewphew !! Or
at least that's what this computer says !!
I have a gedcom file available and it can be downloaded from my website (its
about 680kb)
One thing that's interesting the name Christina --- the info I have is that
her name was Christian possibly taken from her Grandfathers wife's name
''Christian Noble''

Anyway in short, Christina was born 31 May 1797 in Edinburgh and died in
1882

Her father - William Dumbreck born 24 July 1763
Her mother - Catherine Bowie (Wm's 3rd wife)
Her father was a prominent Hotel Keeper in St Andrews Square in Edinburgh
and you can see a photogravure of the hotels on my web site. This family
line goes back to c 1350

Go to www.dumbreck.co.uk/wm.htm
That's the actual ''page''
The index page or ''home page'' gives an outline mapping of what's
available. www.dumbreck.co.uk

Like you I'm focussing mainly on the Dumbreck line, however it's good to get
some info on the shoots as it were, I would like to know more about Ruan ???
and any family Christina had. How big is your gedcom file and can I download
it ?
Thanks and hope to chat to you later
Regards
Rod
