My Keer/Keir families were in Cambusnathen and started out in Old Monkland. Also Pettigrew and Wheelan/Wheelen/Wheeling were in that area. Clarks and Muirs also. Most started out as weavers then to the coal mines and also worked on the canal out of Langloan/Coatbridge. Going from 1800 to present day in some cases. However, the Gibbons/Brown/Short families were as far as I can tell in the Northumberland and Durham areas of England. Kaye In a message dated 2/10/2010 2:20:31 P.M.
