Hi Fionagal
Still a lot of work to do on my tree, but I try my best.
The McSephney clan are one of the hardest families to trace because of the variations in spelling the name due to the Scribers, and most people of that time not being able to read or write.
I was in touch with John McLinden 2/3 years ago and we were going to work on one big tree, but I have not been well and haven't been back in touch with John which I am ashamed of. I am now retired and have all the time in the world.
I know what you mean about on-line trees I always do the research, sometimes I might copy something I haven't got - but I always check it out with the certificates, and google - so many people have got it wrong.
I have been working for over a week trying to find Elizabeth Dalton's death; so far no luck. I don't know if maybe it is the spelling of her surname, as I have found at least six variations of this; or if it is her christian name - maybe she was known by a derivative.
I would like you to get in touch - *
Talking and sharing is a great thing.
Thank you again for contacting me
