Hi
just read your mail that makes us cousins of a sort, my grandad was alexander wannan, elder son of Alexander Wannan and Christina McNoughton, who are you related to in that family? Interesting to hear about the rumour that they came from holland, I often wondered if it was something like that.
hope to hear from you

Hello scotabroad, Grandparents Alexander & Sarah from Springfield? My grandfather David was Alexander's younger brother, which makes us 2nd? cousins. So Hi. Maybe we can help each other out with the Family Tree or will that mean finding more Alexander Wannans!! Been seeing that name in my sleep recently! Good to make contact. Look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Dod.

My father's name was Jere Clifford Wannan. His father was born in Edinborough(?) Scotland.

Edinburgh not Edinborough.
