Jason Donovan is the son of Australian actor Terence Donovan from England, who also appeared in Neighbours as Doug Willis; and his mother is Sue McIntosh.

Does anyone know about the ancestry of Terence Donovan and Sue McIntosh? Supposedly Jason Donovan is descended from the Menlove family from Petton in Shropshire, but I'd like to know how. Supposedly they're going to crop up in his episode, so I guess I'll have to wait and see since I can't find anything online.

Yep, turns out she had entered him into her tree herself, but somehow forgot and subsequently "found" him.

What about this one?

It's somewhere in Walls, Shetland. Looks like Truhgirth?

I got the impression you create your family tree and it puts it online in a searchable database. Someone told me they'd "searched" it and found this guy

Do you search in Brothers Keepers. The nearest I can find is 22243 John
Moffat born 1785. Brecks Sandness in 1802, then Setter, Died ?  Setter
Walls.
Father James Moffat. Mother Lilias Jamieson

Can anyone tell me how one searches the BK database? Supposedly there is someone in there who may be my missing link, so I downloaded it but I don't see where you search.

To be Magnus' aunt, she would need to be Magnus' dad's sister. Magnus' dad was James Jamieson who married Catherine Johnson:

Lilias did have a brother called James Jamieson, but he married Elspeth Thompson:

I just found this guy during my research, he is some vaguely related great uncle of sorts.
