Hello: I believe if you go onto Scotlands People it will let you put in Ann McColl's name as mother, and your grandfather's name and the birth year, and you will probably come up with a list of possible births. I have two Ann McColls, but our great grandmother Ann McColl went to Canada in 1884, she was born in 1819 on Lismore. She was married to Donald McPhail. Some of their kids were born on Mull.

He was born in1884 to Ann McColl, possibly on Mull where he grew up, however I can't find him on the birth index there. He may have been born on Gometra, or Eigg, or Muck before going to live on Mull?? How can I find out? Thanks for any help. > Meg > > ______________________________
