Hello Tom and Mary, No SILASes in my line as far as I know but then with the number of children my BARRs had anything is possible. Lots of my BARR relations are in the USA and Canada but the ones I know of emigrated there in the 1920's. Anyway, I have just input the Family Tree information you sent me on my database. I always check to see if there are any links and if there are I'll certainly contact you. Here's a short version of my BARRs.. They're all in Renfrewshire or Lanarkshire Scotland. Wouldn't it be nice if we did connect. I have found 2 births which might interest you in the Scottish OPRs - 1. an ARCHIBALD BARR son of ALEXANDER born in Glasgow in 1740 . 2. an ALEX BARR son of JAMES BARR and MARGARET ALEXANDER born in Cathcart Renfrewshire in 1817 No further info unfortunately but both might be possible leads to your family?
