And still looking for Christian OALSON married to William SHAND in Latheron 1827. Christian's father was Donald OALSON (but which one?) William's father, I don't know, was he even from Latheron? How do people get on researching further back than 1740 when apparently the parish register began? Can anyone shed any light on this family? Michelle. We do not stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.
