Pat, I'd like to take advantage of your offer, too. Do you have a listing for my ggrandfather, William Gillispie Forsyth, a coal miner? I know he married Annie Mair (1848-1924) from Lanarkshire, Scotland. William was likely from the same area around Glasgow. I have six children listed for them. Thanks, Mary
