Thank you for the quick reply! Wow.
I knew the people in our posts were generations apart. With the similar names and the tradition of carrying them through generations, I thought there might be a connection farther back, especially with Bryson added to the mix. I hope the poems I posted to my Web page will yield some clues.
I have not been able to find a thing through general online sources about Robert Bryson. I also have not delved deeper into searching until now.
I am only now getting back into researching my Findlay line after several years. Just today, I found some (new to me) online 1800s census data on my grandmother's parents and her siblings. I have not yet obtained the marriage certificate for Alexander and Elizabeth you mentioned. Thank you for sharing that information. I hope I will be able to find it through the Scotland's People database. I am also intrigued about the ill-informed online family tree you mentioned. I do not have a Buchanan in my records, so I am relieved it was not anything I posted.
