I have Duncan Strachan who married Janet Mathieson in Renton on 17 july 1867 . She was born in Kilmory Arran so it would seem he might have come from the Renton area. I have a few Mcleans - but don't know the birthplaces of most of them so would need more information. These 2 from the area - Janet 1792 Kilmaronock ; Jane 1834 Bonhill; good luck, Catherine ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, July 16, 2006 4:09 AM Subject: [DUNB] Strachan and MacLean/McLean > Would like to talk with anyone working on these two names.

Would like to talk with anyone working on these two names. I tried to contact two persons on the surname list but both emails were returned to me. My Strachans are in Cardross Parish and Old Kilpatrict Parish. My Mcleans are from Cardross Parish, but some were b. in Hill Ardmore and Camis-Eskan. Janet

Hi Janet A lot would depend on the time period,Clydebanks boundaries changed over the years as more and more people moved into the area to work in the shipyards and engineering works.

Thanks Glenda and Lorna for your help. Alexander is 71 years old in 1841 according to the census. His wife Catherine is 62 so that would have him born around 1770 and Catherine born around 1779. Their daughter Margaret is not on the census so I assume she has passed away. I also noticed that it asks if born in Scotland state whether in county or otherwise, so I assume if there is a n it means born some where else, right and it states whether foreigner or whether born in England or Ireland there is a slash so I would assume that it means Alexander and Catherine were born somewhere else. I have found their daughter Margaret born around 1813 in Old Kilpatrick. Once again thanks to Glenda and Lorna for your help. Margaret (Jean)

Hi! Does anyone have any information on Bridget and Mary McHale born in the Renton? around 1852 Bridget married Patrick Molloy or Milloy . Their fathers name was Thomas McHale mothers name was Ann Connolly. Ann,s second marriage, mans last name Carrol. Thanks a lot. Dolores.

Hello If anyone has access to the monument listing for Old Kilpatrick could they check for the death of ALEXANDER BAIN and it also lists his daughter Margaret, I would appreciate it. I do remeber seeing it at one time but have returned the book to my local genealogy society. I am looking for any info on ALEXANDER BAIN and CATHERINE KAY. Thanks so much. Jean

Hi, This is my first posting. I am seeking further information on the following families. Angus Calder born 1804c Creich Sutherland married Janet McDonald born 1808c possibly Argyll. They married 1826 in Glasgow. Children Jean 1829 Glasgow Mary 1831 Glasgow Angus 1843 Renton (moved to Glasgow & married) Robert 1845 Renton (moved to Glasgow & married) Mary Calder married first Robert McLean (s/o Hugh McLean & Janet Campbell) Children all born Renton Janet 1854 Alexander 1856 m Margaret Murdoch Angus 1858 Second husband married 1861 Cardcross James McKenzie s/o Archibald McKenzie & Catherine Mcaulage?? (writing terrible on MC) Children all born Renton Catherine 1865 Archibald 1871 John 1874 Jean Calder did not marry but had an illegitimate son Thomas Gilchrist (on later census recorded as Calder) I seem to have lost track of this family after the 1881 census. Any information appreciated Regards Lorraine Australia

I don't wish to offend anyone, but I'm surprised that families of immigrants from the United Kingdom should seek DNA from just any part of the world. Surely, if you have an interest in British DNA you would be concentrating on only British donors? I understand the migrant issue, it just seems to me to be economically extravagant to ask migrant ancestry to participate. After all, isn't the purpose of finding clear lines of ancestry rather than clear lines of migration that can be found in document. Just curious.

We need as many participants as possible in order to establish clear lines of descendancy and migration patterns of the family. Participants must be males with the surname Trail (or any variant spelling), because the study is based on transmission of the Y-chromosome from father to son. We are seeking men with any form of the surname, from any part of the world, especially the United States, Scotland, and Ireland. Migrations of Traills (mostly with the double-L spelling) are known in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the West Indies (Barbados, Jamaica, etc.), as well. All are welcome to join!

If you want to join the study, please select a test of at least 25 markers -- the more markers, the better. Fewer than 25 will not yield useful results for the purposes of the study.

Unfortunately, I don't. I don't know of anyone with one of the names I'm researching. I have yet to trace that part of my ancestry to America. And the 2 x great grandmother in question had 2 children apparently out of wedlock and then married. The records are a bit vague, and I haven't been able to trace her or her husband backwards --or forward--so far. They show up on a census and then simply disappear. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, July 02, 2006 8:11 PM Subject: RE: [DUNB] DNA genealogical study > Do you have a brother or a first cousin with one of the names that you are > researching?

Do you have a brother or a first cousin with one of the names that you are researching? If so, and if you are interested in pursuing DNA testing, you might offer to pay for them taking the test. Very common surnames might be one of the better places to try it. Keep in mind that even a 37 marker match only means a common ancestor - it does not automatically pinpoint that ancestor to a specific person or generation. But it may help you determine a research direction.

While we're on the subject of Y DNA ,may I also ask all McGonigals and spelling variants,to participate in the Y DNA project at http://www.familytreedna.com/ It's under the MeGonnigil( variant) spelling in the search box. I have already narrowed my McGonigal Y DNA to an R1B1c7 North West Ireland group (Donegal) which matches Niall of the Nine Hostages in 400 AD. Not that I'm claiming direct descendancy from him,but an interesting connection ~~~~~~~~~ Janet ... I'm also hoping that Y DNA will break down some of my brick walls,I know that my gr.greats Hugh McGonigal and Sarah Coyle came to Scotland about 1838 from Ireland,but I don't know where ? Maybe some of the McGonigals scattered all over the world will have info that will help,family Bibles etc.,because the info isn't forthcoming thru the usual channels. Frank McGonigal Ont.Canada.

Janet, some of us have British ancestors who left Scotland and other parts of the UK quite early on. The path from ourselves to our original immigrant ancestor is not always 100% clear. Nor is that immigrant's path of immigration always documented. Even if it is, there may be interest in knowing if others from the same family came along. So, there is value in establishing links to others of the same surname both in the place where the British ancestor settled and to folk in the ancestral homeland.
