I am interested in finding people researching Gillzeans or Gilleans who migrated from Scotland to Canada and then to US, state of Georgia. My ancestor is John Gillean born 5 May 1813 in Georgia, died 2 Feb 1852 in Arkansas. A book in Cooper, Delta County, Texas said that these Gilleans were Scotch-Irish who came from Scotland to Canada, then to Georgia and to Arkansas. Can anybody recommend a web site or a bookseller where I might verify this? I have recently been told that they were called Gilzeans when they came to Canada. Recently someone in the family came across an old parchment sheet that said a John Gillean born in 1774 married a Fannie. Have not been able to find a record of this anywhere. Thank you.

Hello Sybil: Take a look at Canada 411 on-line directory (free of charge) at: http://1canada411.sympatico.msn.ca/ There are 10 households listed in Canada under the name GILZEAN. There are also 4 households using the surname GILLEAN. You might want to contact them in writing or by phone. Good searching.
