Hi Bruce, I am basically trying to research the following: My 2nd gg; Alexander Grant, b. abt 1834, East River, Pictou, NS, marr. 30 Dec 1856 to Nancy/Annie Ross, and died 24 Oct 1881, at Sunnybrae, Pictou. My 3rd gg; Robert Grant, chr. 9 Jul 1797 at Glen Urquhart, Inverness, Scotland, marr. 29 Jul 1824 at Pictou to Mary McDonald. He died bef 171 at Sunnybrae, I believe. Mary died about 1883. My 4th gg: John Grant, b. 1750/1770 at Glen Urquhart, marrying abt 1770/1789 to Margaret McIntosh. He died about 1826 at Sunnybrae. My 5th gg; James Grant, b. abt 1725 at Glen Urquhart, marrying Janet Grant on 13 Feb 1755 Inverness, Scotland. I believe they lived at Millstream, Pictou, NS. My suggested 6th gg: Iain (John) Grant, b. abt 1705 of Glen Urquhart, Inverness, Scotland (Loch Meikle, Sct.) I don't know who his wife was, but do believe he had 3 children: James, my 5th gg, Alpin, b. 15 mar 1740, chr 16 Mar 1740, Meikle, Inverness, Sct., possibly died about 1828, of East River, Pictou, NS. Also, a possible daughter Mary. Not sure if all the above is correct, would appreciate corrections and advice. Will be glad to share what I have. Thanks for your reply. Suzie, of Shelton, Washington

Hello, Actually, researchers have indicated that I probably do not tie in with Alpin (b. 1740 son of Iain)...at least not proved, but because I have explored the possibility that he was a relative, I do have some information you might like to have. Not knowing what you already know, perhaps you could tell me and the list specifically what you need, such as info on his children, etc. I have info submitted by Audrey Kotterman about Alpin that I can submit to the list that is rather interesting. Thank you for your reply! Suzie
