Lanarkshire / Carstairs Cemetery
« on: Friday 17 July 15 02:09 BST (UK)  »
A few years back someone took some headstone photos in this cemetery and I noted that there were several with FORREST names.  There is one with FORREST/MILLAR which I would like to confirm is my 4ggrandfather, Robert Forrest and Janet Miller (Millar).  Is anyone familiar with this cemetery?  I was in Scotland in 2008 and found my 3ggrandfather in the Lanark cemetery but didn't check out Carstairs.

Your post is pretty ancient but I'll try anyway.  My Y-DNA indicates a match with a Gavin Forrest of Cambusnethan, whom I believe was James's grandfather.  The connection must go back at least 2 generations before Gavin (b. 1775).  The earliest ancestors I know of are Robert Forrest/Janet Miller (banns 1740 in Carluke & Hamilton).

By the way - Robert Forrest the sculptor was Robert and Janet's grandson.

Any connection that you know of that goes back that far?
