Do the death certificates of the said William CUTHBERTSONs reveal parentage? And what about the names of the children - is there evidence of the Scottish naming pattern being used and/or showing the names of grandparents? Are passenger lists or other migratory documents any help? Best wishes, Sheena Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
