« on: Friday 13 August 10 20:35 BST (UK) »
Just posting to say i have a lot of information on the above surnames with a Bo'ness connection if anyone else is researching them.

Also - Burness (1600s), Anderson, Crookston, West & Rankine.

Tons of SRs, OPRs, and other info.

Happy to share to help you with your own research just get in touch.

Hi Flowers,

Hello to you from rainy Bo'ness, Scotland.

Great to hear from you - what is your descendant line from our common ancestors William and Helen?

Also - have you had a DNA test on Ancestry so I can look out for you?

All the best,
