I just wanted to say hello I am researching my Fathers family. The names are Gardner, Doig, Mcpherson, Gibson, Chalmers, Milne. Martin and Hill. They were mainly from the Dundee area although I have an idea that my Great Grandfather was from Glasgow. Happy to meet you all.

Welcome to TalkingScot, Scoobydoo.

May your Family Research give you much enjoyment.......and success. Frustration from time to time is guaranteed. :D However you'll find lots of willing and able to help, if you have questions.

I have Milnes in my tree, but they're Aberdeenshire, rather than Angus.

All the best
Catriona

Hi Scoobydo

Nice to see a real neighbor in this neighborhood. (I'm from Maine). Catriona is very right in that there is an excellenct chance you'll find some good advice from the folk around here. If you ever have any specific questions don't hesitate to ask!! You've got a lot of surnames but nothing that fits my tree :(

Take care and best wishes in your searching :!:

Hello and welcome,

You will see from my post in your Birth Registration topic that according to the 1881 census your g. grandfather was indeed born in Glasgow.

Yes thankyou, no wonder I could not find any information on him in the Dundee records. Thankyou Annette
