Hi Pamela,
Just encountered this site, and I am currently working from memory (from 10 years ago).
I was asked by my grandmother to chase up the family tree and, from memory, our family came from ayrshire.(I have asked my grandmother for the stuff I gave her and then will perhaps see a match).
I got a birth and marriage extract when I was in Edinburgh, but ran out of time to chase higher up the tree.Then my grandfather managed to lose the computer database we had stored all the info.Have the database, but not the program that can open it.My grandmother does have some of the original data I started with and I am waiting on that.
From what I found (and there were gaps), 3 brothers left ayrshire and eventually made their way to Australia (big gaps in here).
One name I can recall (as unusual) was Renee Watt Millen, but can't recall how this fit in.
Word of mouth family history has the family having some family feud in the past, but unknown who or when.
Any of this prompt a memory?(I know it's vague but will add to it when I get the info.)
