Hello Everyone Just a quick note to tell you that when you get a query for a name and you don't think it is yours,read it anyway,because this is what happened to me about two weeks ago.I was about to hit the delete when for some reason I decided to finish reading it. As it turned out there were a lot of names at the bottom of the letter being researched and one of them was in my paternal line. I sent off a query to that person and although she couldn't match us up right away she gave me the name and address of a person who appeared to be in my line, and sure enough we are cousins ! Kind Regards Elizabeth wehc@sprint.ca Names being researched are MACDONALD,McDONALD,KERR,KEIR,CARR,McCULLOCH, mostly in Renfrew,and Lanark, but could be anywhere in Scotland ! Also DUNCAN,GILLESPIE,BENNIE,BINNIE,BAIRD,MAXWELL,and SINCLAIR,mostly in Stirling, Midlothian,and West Lothian,but again they could be anywhere in Scotland !
