Renfrewshire / Re: Muir's from Paisley.
« on: Wednesday 07 September 05 04:46 BST (UK) »I just ran across this chat room and don't know a thing about researching my family but thought I would ask anyway. My name is James Muir and my father William said our family goes back to Paisley. Does anyone know if the Muir's they are researching ended up in New Jersey, USA. I know my father was born around 1931 or 32 in New Jersey. I have always been interested in my family tree but never knew where to start. I hope someone can get me started.
Hello Jim
This can become a very addictive hobby. My Paisley Muirs ended up in Australia, but they left many sibling behind in Scotland, one or more of whom could well have ended up in USA. To start checking your family, do you have any details of your grandparents. If your parents/aunts/uncles are still living, a good place to start is asking them questions. If you can post details of your parents/grandparents folks here may be able to help you track them further.

Thanks Trish. I will talk to my dad and get some more information on my grandparents on my fathers side. Possibly some info on uncles as well. Once I get that I will post it here.
