In the process of looking for the family of my gg grandfather, Alexander Stewart, who was probably born in Monzie, I found a possible group of siblings in the IGI online. One of them is listed as Angus or Thomas Stewart born Sept. 2 1798. Could someone tell me what the "or" signifies? Is it that the entry was not legible? Thanks. Virginia

I just looked up the entry to check. Sometimes the IGI contains entries from member-submitted trees, that are not OPR transcriptions. This one IS an OPR transcription, so I would suggest that the original OPR actually says "Angus or Thomas". The only way to know more would be to order the film and look at the original record yourself. But my suspicion is that it is "Angus alias Thomas".
