Thank you for your comments.   When it all starts coming together the hardest thing is deciphering your scribbles and putting it down in order in a way OP can easily understand.

Glad I was able to help.

I am absolutely beside myself with all of this info! I can not get over it. I jumped on my phone as soon as I saw Annette's replies and was talking at 10pm with my Aunt. One of those things I just couldn't wait to do. My dad used to tell me little bits of stories when I was a teenager and it sparked my interest.  I have actually seen all of these names together, but have been going by exact date, so dismissed them. After reading your reply Annette everything comes together and just works! I did not know about Tini or Ben until a few days ago and researched, but still have been confused on the whole process.  Gets frustrating and after so long I was about to throw my hands up and say forget it. You all have been such a help! I never thought I would see this much info all at once!  :D

C. Dewar another family name is Erskine. Your Grandfather gave family names to A and J. for middle names.

Hey looking for me  ;D I have one more grandfather to add and am then going to work on children then spouses lines. I saw Erskine as a mother to one of our I don't know how many times great grandmothers.

Everyone else... I have found grandparents and their children all the way back to 1686! I could not have done it without all the help!
