Hi All ~ I have just joined your mail list and hope that list members can point me in the proper direction for additional information that might be net - available. I have found the County website, and other common information. Additionally, I often use www.google.com to search. Having said that, the primary family name I am hoping to locate additional information about is McInnes with all of the normal spelling variants. In the tree, I have several John's - from this area one b. 31 Aug 1873 Middle-East-West Parishes, Greenock, Renfrew, Scotland, his father was Joseph McInnes, who returned to Kilbrandon & Kilchattan Parish. Another John b 1824 Craignish m Mary McDougall 1851 Craignish, is on the 1881 Census @ Dwelling: Banks Farm Census Place: Inverkip, Renfrew, Scotland They had moved by January 1856 when their oldest daughter was born Middle or New Parish, Greenock. BTW this link, unless my computer is out of sync, takes you nowhere functional. The Renfrewshire GenWeb page is at http://www.rootsweb.com/~sctrfw/ Any direction and information would be appreciated.
