This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: McCrae, McRae Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.ireland.ulster/2923/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Has anyone seen any records for a McCrae[McRae] family in Ulster or anywhere in Ireland about 1670 to 1700. Alan[Alan McCrae[McRae]was born about 1675 and his brother John was older. Alan and John could have emigrated to Scotland in the late 1690's. There are records in Ayr, Scotland for both Allan and John and they start from 1708. The spelling of Alan/Allan McRae/McCrae has varied even on official records up to his death in Ayr in 1749. There are no records in Scotland for these two before 1708 when John was married in Ayr. Any information would help. Thanks Peter McCrae
