My father is Melvin Gillespie(1925-present); his father William Gillespie(July5, 1862-1937) born in Galesburg, ILL.; his father was David Gillespie ( Jan.4, 1835 - 1921) born in Boonesville, PA. My trail ends there and I would love to trace the family to Ireland or Scotland. I have been to Newtonmore in Scotland. Mary Gillespie from one of the woodland creatures at the lake
