Hi folks, new to the board and hopefully you's may be of help.
Managed to trace my Grandfather's family to Strachur Argyll but i have hit a dead end. I have used Scotlandspeople.org to good effect but have now hit a snag. My Grandfather died back in late 70's/ early 80's. Donald ( Dougie ) McNab. Son of Donald McNab ( Retired Coachman ) Died 1936 in Strachur and Catherine McNab ( Nee McKay ). He had 2 brothers John and the other i think was Alex. Maybe possible that Alex went on to play for Greenock Morton then moved to the USA although not 100% sure.
If anyone in Strachur uses the forum or indeed anyone else that could help me in any way i would very much appreciate it.
Kind Regards

Hi Alan
Please stick to just one thread per query, especially for Scotland where generous Rootschatters have been known to spend their own money, or go out of their way, to answer requests. Also it gets a bit frustrating if you find that the work is duplicated - which can mean that your requests go ignored in the worst case scenario.
Thanks!
Kind regards, Arranroots
