Hello everybody, Just subscribed last night. Anybody out there with an interest in the Auchenstarry, Smithston and Croy Rows (all miners rows) in Cumbernauld District of Dunbartonshire. Most males of previous generations in my family-lines worked in the pits of this area upuntil the pits closed). My interests are both historical and genealogical. Perhaps interested parties can share and learn together. Incidentally, the mining population was very mobile for several decades last century, so my family connections involve Ireland, Ayrshire, Stirlingshire and Lanarkshire before settling in the above-named miners' rows. Contact me initially on the list. Neil McBride O'Neill
