Before asking for further help, please ensure that you have read the replies from helpers on ALL of your threads - and noted the info therein. Thank you

We can't look at your tree without personal permission via GR contacts, Roy.

However, if you let us know what gaps you have, along with relevant names and dates, we'll be happy to search records for you.

Hi guys I have spent most of the day updating my CHEYNE family tree, I would love you to look at it and fill in any missing gaps. Istill need to do more, the old and new stuff,but at least it is a start. Hope to hear back from you all.
Roy

Thank you all that have replied to me on here. I seem to be having problems worth my GRiu program at the moment will try to get that sorted out and rely to you all mnext week
Roy am

:-D :-D :-D :-D

another thread

https://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1380033

there seem to be lots more.

I would have been thrilled to find something as good as the Bayanne site. I was lucky with an unofficial one name study but not as good and informative. If I remember rightly Bayanne has 800 Cheyne names and other versions of the name as well.


Added:
If Roy does come back on here and really doesn't want to do any of the research himself he could take a look at Ancestry. Trees go back several generations and children are shown for at least 2 of Magnus's siblings.

AG’s post headline may have been prophetic

Some of Roy's earlier threads

https://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/genealogy_chat/thread/1383350

https://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1364376

I see from earlier threads that Roy has been pointed to the Bayanne website several times before me.

Seems he never investigated it. Such a shame as a huge amount of work has been done.

Roy has a number of Cheyne threads - just for info for helpers

On one of them he actually refers to Stirling and Catherine!!!

HE NEVER CAME BACK
A Dunrossness man who passed away in Idaho some months ago, at the ripe old age of 92, had not seen his native isles since emigrating in 1882. He was Mr Magnus Cheyne. and news of his passing comes from his brother William in New Zealand. Deceased was the eldest son of Sinclair and Catherine Cheyne, and his passing leaves only one of their nine children alive, William, who has been in New Zealand since 1912.
In America Mr Magnus Cheyne pursued the hard life of a miner, prospecting for silver, lead, copper and tin. and found some valuable mines in his time. Like others, however, he strove to better himself by floating a company, but with disappointing results. He never married.
His brother, the youngest of the Cheyne family, is over the allotted span and has four children, all whom are married. Grandchildren number eleven. Mr Wm. Cheyne still follows the business of builder which he took up when he emigrated in 1912,

All the work has been done on the Rootsweb & Bayonne websites listed above, which is why I said it would take Roy time to go through them.

As a sailor it is not surprising that Magnus can’t always be found - except that he emigrated in 1882. All there for Roy to see.
