Occurrences of SCOON as a Forename

Being a very rare surname there have been many occasions where the name SCOON has been kept alive in the family line by using the name as an additional (normally last) forename.     Particularly for girls, this tradition often misses generations before returning and new researchers may not see an immediate connection.   This page aims to help in such situations by giving a 'shortcut' link from such occurrences to the actual Scoon from whom they are descended.

The ID number given is the same as that used in the Scoon Index, as are the relationship references.    Where the nearest Scoon ancestor is not yet on the Index, the nearest ancestor on the Index is shown, if available.    As I have not yet had the opporunity to draw all the certificates for events outside Scotland, the dates there are drawn largely from on-line data available, so should be checked.

This table is being built up as I come across new occurrences.    Please let me know of any other cases of which you are aware, or, indeed, just if you find it useful!
