Jenny
I am happy with tears to receive your email.
It was my Great Grandfather, Hay Logan, that first came to the USA, and then my Great Grandmother, Helen (Nellie) came with their four children: Agnes (Nan), Nellie, Harry, & the youngest, my Grandmother Margaret, who is still living.
Yes, they settled in Saginaw, but within a few years of their arrival, they were struck with one tragedy after another.
My Grandmother, Margaret  was told that her Father's family disowned him because he left Scotland, and it was a forbidden subject. So until I started my research, we knew nothing about Grandfather Hay's family.
I will look forward to hearing from Susan, and sharing photos and documents.
Sincerely, Becky

Hello Becky,

Susan was here today and I gave her copies of all your postings and the replies.   She is going to draft out an e-mail for me to send you, but would like to obtain your direct e-mail address.   How do we go about doing this???
 
She was telling me she has a photograph of her Grandfather, William Taylor Logan, but he died on 13 November, 1949, and she was only 3 years old!   

However, I have found another site called  Judy's Family History.   This has the Logan family of Cruden Bay and photographs, stories, etc.   I am sure they are part of your family.    There's a Kilmarnock connection also, which might explain why they went there.   

By the way my husband's Gt. Grandparents came for a tiny fishing village a couple of miles south from Cruden Bay, called Winnyfold.    (Shearer and Parley are their surnames)

Your Grandmother must be about 90 now??   Have you told her about our conversation?

Eagerly awaiting your next communication.

Jenny (christened Jean, but family called me Jenny) in sunny Aberdeen - where are you?

Greetings from Michigan!

Thank you for your reply. Yes, Grandmother is actually 91 now. I have shared with her that I have been contacted by a cousin in Scotland. She is very emotional about her country and Scottish people in general, and we are as well. My entire life I remember always being at parades, and when the bagpipers came through, she would start crying and need to go to the car. It's that sentimental connection, and I get that, and it is passed on to us as well.

I have documents, photos, and information to share as well. I am not certain of the rules here, but I am going to attempt to you my e-mail address,

I am so looking forward to seeing a photo of Uncle William, I am very curious if he looks like my Great Grandfather, Hay , beings they are brothers. He was very short in stature, but very musically inclined. Please let Susan know that it sounds like maybe she is my Mom's age, she was born in 1941. They would be 2nd or 3rd cousins?

Look forward to your next reply!

Becky

Hi
I see that my cousin Jenny wrote to you a while back, she mentions my sister Susan. I have been looking into my family recently. I think you may also have spoken to my sister.
