G'Day Again Bruce,

I've basically been focusing on my direct line through my da, his dad, etc via marriage and Birth certs that I've accessed on the site you mentioned which has got me to James and Janet mcEwan.

Interestingly the other site you advised me of has a bit more info and I can find a Tainshe who bore a son James back in 1614 which might lead on a bit back to my James - frustrating but worth perservering with.
I know that the james who married Janet McEwan had a father called James  and I understand that records may have been destroyed and that Muthill was subjected to some burning etc so i'll just keep plodding.
Thanks for all your advice it's been very helpful and I'll try your suggestion.
Cheers
JT

G'Day Bruce,
Thanks for making the effort I've only been doing this for a couple of days but I'll plod on. Would you mind telling me what the IGI is?
Cheers

G'Day Bruce,

Hope I'm doing this correctly. I've begun to trace my paternal line which appears to end in the Muthill region.
I'm a direct descendant of Alexander Tainsh who married Janet McGregor - Alexander was born 1785 and his parents were James Tainsh and Janet McEwan . I'm getting a wee bit stuck from here on in and was hoping you could have a look at your document and perhaps see if the line continues back?

Regards
JT
