There are 176 Angus Grants in the civil registers of births in Scotland, though admittedly that includes many too old and many still living and/or too young to be the one. The absolute minimum information you need is their Angus Grant's birthday (day and month, and if possible year). The year on its own is unlikely to be sufficient, as there could well be more than one Angus Grant born in any year. A day and month and an approximate year would be better. When you have that information you can go to www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk, invest in a few credits and search the birth indexes for a matching Angus Grant. Then you can start looking for his ancestors and relatives. HTH Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
