Hi, I too have McGuire's from Cavan who were working in the Jute industry in Dundee. I am having problems finding them in Cavan, but as I can only use the internet, and looking at free indexes at that, I understand that it may take me some time to find them. I do have details of all the Scottish vital stats that I need for my direct line, but am beginning to work out on peripheral lines to see if there are any living relatives who may have had more luck tracing their ancestors.
