Hi,

I have recently started following my family tree (McBain) in the Auldearn area and I saw your post from what looks like Dec-08.

So far, I have found a William McBain born in 2nd June 1821 Urchany, Geddes, Nairn, Scotland and believe he is my great great grandad, and this post makes me wonder if he might be one of the offspring of one of these older children you mention here...

Would be great to discuss this topic more with whoever wrote it..

Thank You,

Andy MacBain (Dunfermline, August 2016)
