with this birth it shows James McGrannathan as a son, with his fathers name James McGrannathan and mother as Jane McGrannathan? is that right? Im wondering if I'm reading the document right. if so theres Two James Mcgrannathans. father and son.

hi flst.  yes I read your post :) I never really thought about finding distant relatives. but that would be really interesting if that was to happen. I know theres lots of sure names that are closely spelt and sound like McGrannathan but I haven't ever found or seen it spelt the way mine is? I think thats why Im so intrigued with this.. as far as I know my boys are the only way to keep the name going.

@ Fortarian

I'm starting to see that. A****** has only given me more unanswered questions.  The only true valid information Iv found so far is from actual distant relatives. And they only seem to have the least of what I'm trying to find with all there best efforts. unfortunately for me I have no remaining McGrannathan's alive to question. As Im guessing all rootschat guests suffer with in one way or another looking for there history. lol  But its that magic break through that we/ I'm hoping to find sometime...  if not, were all alive and well pass on what we learn to are children :)

thanks for your help

Hello sancti. I'm trying to find a name Edward McGrannathan linked to his Father James McGrannathan. but I can't find any relation. James might not be his father? or many he had a child with another woman, not "Jane Brooks".   you never now what are ancestors did  :P

Hello Tom.

WOW! thank you for the fast reply. I looked up James McGrannathan on ancestry.com and it shows his wife as Jean McGrannathan not Jane? and a list of all house hold residents. Mary, John, and Jane McGrannathan. I'm assuming there children? Not sure. But no name with Edward McGrannathan? but its a nice start.

when i try to look any further on James McGrannathan on ancestor.com a message shows up saying.
 "Unfortunately, we are unable to display the accompanying images of this census at present, despite extensive negotiation with the General Register Office for Scotland. Permission from them has not, as yet, been forthcoming."

What is IGI? could this help me more?

Thank you so much for the information you gave me.
