Hi All,
My second cousin, Dorothy Graham, (aka Yukongal) has done much research on our family genealogy (you will find some older posts from her in this forum) and hit a brick wall with William Wilson (b. abt. 1745) m. Jean Skinner (b. abt. 1755), even after taking a trip to Scotland about 10 years ago.
This is what we have now, http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wilson-Descendants-17827
I took on the job of putting the research online.
You'll note there are also quite a few Scottish branches that have not been traced out, though the Canadian branch is very well documented.
I thought I'd see if anything new has become available, since I have recently made headway on other branches due to regional histories being scanned by Google books. This Jean Skinner is a potential candidate,
