For fun, I thought I would check who were my related New Year babies. I used the Publish tool in Family Tree Maker to find who was in my Calendar for that date.
First, I found a young man, living in Australia, who is a 1st cousin twice removed in our descending family.
Then the excitement of finding twins born in 1899 in Scotland -- John R Dalgleish who died in 1947 and his brother Stanley Dalgleish who died 50 years later in 1977. However, they are extremely distantly linked -- being brothers-in-law to a great uncle!
My best ancestral link and New Year baby was Alexander Shanks born in 1820 in Lisnabrague, Co Down, Northern Ireland.
