Fife / Re: "Laings" in Fife and beyond
« on: Friday 30 July 10 15:04 BST (UK) »
Hi,
My kids have just started tracing the family ancestry and found this forum.
I haven't had chance yet to read all the entries and I will do that over the weekend.
In the meantime, my dad was born in West Wemyss in Fife. His name (and that of his father) was John Murray Laing and he was born on 17 January, 1908. My Gran was Georgina Bannerman.
I haver been told that the Murray was part of our surname until dropped by my Grandfather but I have no idea how accurate this is. But, certainly, all the boys have it as one of their first names.
I am looking forward to reading all the entries but, in the meantime, if there is anyone from our branch of the family, it would be great to hear from them.
