Colleen, If I had known this two days ago, I would have same $8.00. I was wondering why she didn't follow the Scottish naming pattern, but she did. Mary was her mother, Charles was her father. I will have to see if Alexander is in the MacRae line. I think her grandfather might have been Alexander MacLean. I cannot ever thank you enough. I feel as if I am really getting close to sorting it all out. Marion > Jane is a widow and on a quick check, >children Mary Alexander, Charles, John and not sure if more.
