Welcome to my family history page, which is dedicated mainly to the Downie name.
Here are three links to the information:
a list of names of lots of Downies from about 1623
and many others who married into my family
information about Downies (unrelated as far as I know) living in Strathdon, Aberdeenshire 17th-19th Century
Each of these websites opens in a new window - close that window to continue browsing this site.

I have lots of information about other Downies in all parts of Scotland including Orkney, Caithness, Aberdeenshire, Aberdeen, Angus, Perthshire, Dundee, Dunfermline, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Blantyre, Old Monkland, Wigtownshire, Argyllshire and Ayrshire. Some of it is just snippets and other material is quite extensively researched - no time to put it on the web. I might not be related to you but I may well know someone who is, so if you have an interest in Downies in or from Scotland, please contact me (copy this address):
I live in Aberdeen, Scotland and am a member of the North East of Scotland Family History Society.
