Family
My name is
James Geddie Duncan (Jimmy) I now live in Cambridgeshire, but I was born in Leven
at a place called Cock- Ma – Lane in 1943, I then moved in 1945 to Sillerhole.
We moved again to Cuffabout until we moved out of the Leven area, and moved to
Leslie in about 1954. I left Scotland in 1961 to join the RAF and stayed in the
RAF for the next 25 years.
My family
moved back to Leven in the seventies and still resides in the surrounding area.
My mother died in 1986 but my father is still alive, my three brothers all stay
in Fife. My oldest bother has done a lot of research in to the family history.
Now I am trying to find out more from other sources, and help others do
research into there family.
