Hello Tom,

Welcome to Rootschat!

Could you provide some more details please?

If we know what info you already have it would save a lot of time. Even if it's the bare minimum to begin with, it'll provide a good base for starting from. Any births, marriages, deaths or Census info you have, include it on a message and we'll take it from there.

Hi, apanderson,  I have traced family back to a William Provan born September 1763 to a David Provan and Janet Cowan in St Ninians  Using the usual method of 1st. son named after fathers father I came up with nothing from I.G.I and O.P.R. There seems to be a gap in the St Ninians Church Records for these dates. I have David born Circa 1737. The problem is that the Provans seemed to have propageted the Stirling area. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
From OPRs
A .... WILLIAM PROVAN was christened on 18 September 1763  in Fintry, Stirling
with parents David Provan and Jennat Couan
also
An .... Andrew in 1765
An .... Isabel in 1767
**************************************************************
The one you quote is from an LDS submission (always at least questionable in authenticity)
A ....WILLIAM PROVAN was christened on 25 September 1763 in St Ninians, Strling
with parents David Provan and Janet Cowan 
Cheers
