Thanks for the clarification.  It's nice to share info but it will take me a few weekends to get the new family added to my tree :) 

Thanks also for you suggestion to do a new post about my  MI search for Thomas Kinna/Mary Houston so I will add that to the weekend list. 

Bye for now,
Creekside

Hello again, 

If you search on the OLD familysearch IGI and enter the info below, it should pop up (I copied the details below).  The Alexander info was interesting... and I have yet to check if James McKennay's twin brother Alexander (born Sept. 1, 1789) passed away prior to 1794.... I have run across this with other families where the name is used again, if a child passes away.

I typically use origins.net to access the IGI listings (it links to the NEW IGI) and have gotten different results from when I use the old IGI so typically I check both now.  Agness Kennah (thanks for that!) and other sibs. came up when I entered the same Kinnay/Houston info on the origins.net site but not the Kinnay info...???   To date, I haven't sent a msg. to FamilySearch but it has happened a few times....

Do you have any suggestions where I can search for MI info for Thomas Kinna/Mary Houston if it is not on the kirkyards site????

Cheers,
Creekside

I was back looking at the kirkyards site and found MIs for James Houstan/Barbara Jolly (Inscription 35 : Kirkandrews Churchyard).  Other than that website, I don't know of any resources to find MIs for Kirkcudbright... can anyone direct me to another website, book, do a look-up, etc???
I am looking for info on Thomas Kinna/Mary Houston and they are not listed on the kirkyard website.

Thanks,
Creekside

I have been reading through your posts and am interested in your James Kinna (spouse Ravenscroft McMillian). 

As written in the posts, I believe he was twin to Alexander McKennay /son to Thomas McKennay & Mary Houstone; and brother to Thomas Kinnay**, (son to Thomas Kinnay and Mary Houston) who is in my direct line.   Elizabeth Kinnay lists the same parents, and another sister Mary Kinna lists parents Thomas Kinna and Mary Houston.

**I found his Thomas KINNA Monumental Inscription and a photo of gravestone on that wonderful    kirkyards.co.uk    site I found through rootschat.  The website also has inscription info/photos for James/Ravenscroft's son James Kinna (#13.04 Girthon Cemetery) and daughter Elizabeth Kinna (wife to John McGaw - #116 Borgue Cemetery).   

Are you interested in sharing Kinna info?  I have an ancestry tree called Kinna Grieve if you want to take a look....but I have yet to add all the info about the above mentioned folks... as I am still wrapping my head around the variants for Kinna...
