I am researching family history. Interested in hearing from people related to or knowing of the McLafferty families and Smyth families. Patrick McLafferty was born in 1925 and i know of at least 4 brothers. Matilda Smyth was born 1925 and she had two brothers.

Hi Biffer and Welcome to TalkingScot [talkingscot]

As a new member, you may not understand why your post has been altered.

Here at TalkingScot, we are more than delighted to handle queries for assistance in finding our ancestors, but unfortunately, we can not assist in locating people who may possibly be living.

We endeavour to protect the privacy of living people, so we have compiled a list of URLs which may be of assistance in your quest.

Hope the above addresses will help, and we look forward to answering or assisting with any ancestors you need to locate.

Hi Biffer
and welcome to Talking Scot. :D

The link above seems to be working for me, but incase you are not able to access it, here it is in another form:

Hope you find some web sites there which may help you trace your family.

Best wishes
