Hi All, My name is Jackie and I live in Scottsdale, Arizona. My Mother is from Paisley and my Father from Glasgow. (My Father's family was from Argyll.) They immigrated with my 2 brothers in the 1950's to Canada and then immigrated to the USA. I have done a lot of research on my family and have gathered many birth/death/marriage certificates. I have been on the list for a while, but due to an illness and death in the family, I have not been actively researching and I am just getting around to posting my surname interests now. I apologize to anyone who receives this twice. I am going to post all my surnames now (with spelling variants I have found in parenthesis) and will come back and post specifics for each name in individual emails. If anyone on the list is researching the same names as I am, let me know, and I will start "getting specific" on those names first.
