Family Trees of Hope Families of Other Scottish Border Counties.
My own family tree is that of the Hope family of Bold in Traquair Parish and is included in the Hope families of Traquair Parish in Peeblesshire are on the Hopes of Traquair page and those of Tweedsmuir Parish also in Peeblesshire can be found on the new Hopes of Tweedsmuir page. However there are many many other Hope families elsewhere in the Border and surrounding area. Some of these have come to light during my research - these trees are listed below and hopefully some might yet get connected. There are obviously very many more that I have not come across. There may be connections between some of the Hope families but diligent research points to the conclusion that there are many discrete origins of the surname within the UK and Ireland - more about this research can be found on the Hope Origins page of this site. Hopefully some of these trees can be connected by DNA research - if you are interested in this and you are male and have the surname Hope I suggest a visit to the Clan Hope Society website, based in the USA, www.clanhope.org and go to the DNA page.

The following trees DMF 01 and 02 are very closely related and I believe that the Thomas Hope (b1819) with father of William Hope that appear on both trees are in fact the same person. The doubt comes about because the death records show that the mother of Thomas was Mary Cowan while all other records appear to indicate that his mother was her sister Elizabeth Cowan. Until this is clarified the two trees remain separate.
