Posted on: Shire of Dunbarton, Scotland Queries Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Scotland/Dunbarton?read=652 Surname: McKinlay, M'Kinlay, Mackinlay ------------------------- Dear Rachael, How exciting to get a response the very next day after posting my query! I'll have to go look at my notes and compare to your kind information, but the families have to be somewhat close, even if just goegraphically. I am not unaware that there were lots of McKinlays in Dunbartonshire - I've been to the Kirk at Rhu, where there are many McKinlay gravestones and I have the transcriptions from Rhu, Dumbarton, and St. MacKessog's(Luss) parishes, courtesy the Clan Colquhoun Society UK as well. If you would like and are able, I could send you either a GEDCOM file from my Family Treemaker 7.0 program or a Genealogy Report as a WORD attachment showing all that I know about my Dunbartonshire McKinlays. I would be pleased to have you do the same, at your convenience. So nice of you to reply, and your family information sounds fascinating. Please do keep in touch, Regards, Bob P. S. We spent two very memorable years in Beverly, MA, in the early'70's when I was in the Navy.
