I recently purchased this birth certificate from Scots Origins but it is not who I was looking for so if it rings any bells with anyone I will pass it on. John MacKinnon, illigitimate, 04.07.1875, Torrin in Strath to Charles MacKinnon, crofter and Flora Nicolson, domestic servant. The john MacKinnon that I am trying to trace was a widower with three children when he married Katag Robertson who had a daughter Katag (married a McIntosh) around 1900. They subsequently had 4 children and are all from Elgol,Strath. At the moment this is all the information that I have, no dates only the names of the four children from this marriage. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks Maureen MacGregor Totalise - the Users ISP ---------------------- To become a member and a shareholder visit http://www.totalise.net
