My 3rd great grandfather's name was John Robertson Urquhart. Tell me if I'm right here.......The "John" would be after his paternal grandfather.? Could the "Robertson" be after his mother's maiden name or his grandmother's maiden name. And "maternal or paternal"??? Sorry for all these questions. I think I'm becoming overwhelmed, but they are questions I've always wanted to ask. And you sound like you know what you're talking about...lol Thanks, Patsy
