Hi Samuel,

You can also try putting the names you are researching into the Search Trees box to see if anyone on this site has them in their tree. If you find a connection, you can contact the tree owner. Cx.

Hello Samuel - these posts are several years old.

If you're wanting help with your own research then best to start a new thread of your own.

My father, John McKinlay was born in 1905 in Glasgow, Scotland, and passed away in January 1987. He married Isabella Meighan and had 9 children - James, Margaret, Mary, Jean, Cathie, Isabel, William, Joseph and Joan. John's father was James McKinlay and his mother was Mary McKenna. His wife, Isabella's father was William Meighan, and her mother was Jane Anderson. I have not had any luck with family members finding out anything about this McKinlay family, and would appreciate any information anyone would have. Thanks. Joe McKinlay
