Hello Elizabeth, On Thursday, July 06, 2000 you enquired: > New to list..trying to locate info on my grandfather, > John MILLAR, c. 1/22/1853 in Duns <snip> In searching through the Duns parish registers 1825-1855, I found a few MILLER/MILLAR entries that you might be interested in. Your John is entered in the registers, and it seems you will need the Whitsome parish registers for his father's details. Hope the rest of the entries are useful for you.
