Hi,

Are any ancestors from the Burns family in Hawick on Gedmatch or 23andme?

My great grandmother was called Jane Ann Burns Gray from Hawick. Her mother was Maggie Gray, who went to Canada or America I believe, then onto New Zealand.

Jane was brought up by her granny and grandad in Hawick.

 It was a well kept secret, and no one has known who Jane's father was, and my great aunt who was brought up as a neice never knew either. No one knew where the "Burns" came from in Jane's name, so we think this could be the clue to solving the mystery.

Thanks in advance, I look forward to hearing from anyone with any information.
