I have discovered from a site known as Scotlands People (may already be known by other memberes) in Edinburgh, a link to Thomas Murray (1). His father was Peter Murray married to a Margt Wilkie (as shown on Parish register). They were married in 13/6/ 1766. His wife Christian Taylor father was Alexander Taylor married to Jannet Burn at Muthill Perthshire on 7/6/1771. I am 'chasing' dates back from 1766 i.e. where and when Peter murray was born and his parents. To Debbie and others out there, sorry for being off site for to long. Back with a lot of enthusiasm.  P.S Scotlands People in Edinburgh is a great search site. Richard Stewart, Lochgelly, Fife Scotland

Hello Richard  :)   I have been searching for you for so long that I have forgotten what I wanted to say and/or ask!  I will email you so you have my address too.  Yes, Deb & I have been using Scotlands people for years.  It's new and improved now, you used to have to pay to see the indexes but now just for the images.

Hi robc4708 & Leagle1,

I saw your post below robc4708, and think I may be the Kelly's you are referring to. You see I match on a Big Y dna test (on FTDNA) with Dempsey's, Duffy, Malloys, Molloys, and a McLean who claims his family is from Tiree, Scotland. And I also match with a Gallagher and some Carrolls (distantly). My closest matches are a McLean from Tiree, a Dempsey, and some Lockharts. I also have a close "Ufford" cousin which is paternal. And a Mackenzie 2nd to 4th cousin (I am not sure if this Mackenzie cousin is a maternal or paternal dna match, because it is a match on an autosomal dna test). I also have two dna matches who claim to be linked to MacKenzie ancestors from Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland (I'm not sure if these two matches are maternal or paternal either, it's an autosomal test). One of the Mackenzie matches claims to also be connected to the ancestral name of Docherty (also from Paisley). I have a close dna match with a Mulligan, a Hevey, and a Naughton on a YDNA 25 marker test (with a genetic distance of 0). I match with Lockharts on that same Y-DNA 25 marker test with a genetic distance of 1. I also match with a McLucas and a McConkey. I also match with a Treacy, Gorman, Conley, Robertson, Duncan, and Dunbar. My Dempsey match supposedly shares 268,721 dna variants with me on a Big Y dna test. And my McLean match shares 268,254 dna variants with me. My next closest matches on my Big Y dna test are Wilson-266,622 shared, Buchan-266,262 shared, Milligan-265,644, Clark-265,209 (These Clarks claim to be from Co. Sligo). I'd love to figure out what the connection is, since I have been looking for the origins of my Kelly line with very little luck. And I have no idea why I have a close dna connection to a Dempsey and a McLean from Tiree, Scotland. I have a family tree that I created. Would definitely like to discuss it further with both of you (robc4708 & Leagle1), to see what can be shared and discovered.

Hi,

It is great to hear from you.  I'm not sure just how the Duffys and Kellys are related to the Molloys, or is it the Dempsey's?  That is part of the family tree that I don't have sorted.  I do know that my grandfather John Molloy's mother was Ellen Gallagher.  Her father was Hugh Gallagher.   
I still have an uncle living in Duntocher.  He was married to my mum's sister who died a few years ago.
We live in Canada and my mum lives quite far from me, but she will be visiting in the new year and we plan on spending some time going over family history.  Maybe we can arrange something then, or perhaps earlier.

Happy Christmas to you all,

Rob

Hello CrimsonFox.
I have had several DNA tests done and have a lot of info on my family connections. Perhaps we should establish contact and compare notes. Of the surnames you have mentioned I have connections to Kellys, Duffys, Malloys, McLeans and of course Gallaghers. From the sounds of it we have a great deal in common and it would be very useful to explore those connections.

Please feel free to PM me so that take matters further.

Hi Aynn!  Lovely to meet you.  I have searched through my records, and unfortunately, I don't  have anything on your Mum Margaret born 1925. 
Although, I am sure there must be a connection somewhere between all the Gallacher families in Duntocher, from what I understand, most of them hailed from Donegal originally, so it seems very likely, if only we could get back far enough in the Donegal records to prove it.

Are you on Facebook Aynn?  There is a large and very active Duntocher group  on there with tons of members, and lots of local knowledge on all things Duntocher.  You may want to swing by there and say hello, I would bet someone on there will remember your family.  Search for "Duntocher Past and Present" on FB.

All the best, Debbie

Deb, we do have a Margaret Gallacher born sometime after 1919, with sisters Anne & Catherine.  Possible match?  Her parents were James Gallacher & Catherine Bogle.
