Hi group: One of my lines is a Forrester family that was in Allegheny City. I found where they were buried in Union Dale Cemetery. On one of the headstones it has that he was born in Kircolm, Scotland. His brother has that he was born in Gallowayshire Scotland. Gallowayshire is the county where Kirkcolm is located. I got the church records from the Kirkcolm church and found the baptismal and marriage records for the family, except they were all listed as Foster. Then I found the immigration record for the parents and one son, which again listed them as Foster. But once they arrived in the US all of the records list them as Forrester, including the headstone for the parents. Any idea why the family would have changed names when they got here?
