Clackmannanshire / Michie Lineage in Clackmannanshire
« on: Monday 27 May 13 02:55 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I've recently begun researching my family history and I've been using a sheet of paper my great grandfather put together. I'm posting this here hoping I can get more information on the Michies mentioned, specifically siblings and full names, what I'm putting here is all I have, as well as some information on the people/families mentioned.
The reason I say I'm looking for full names is, when my great grandfather put this together, his focus was on the fact our line is all Johns and Alexanders. For example, his name was Frances John Alexander, but he's simply listed as "John". I'm sure many of these are middle names and I'm sure things would be easier on me if I had their full names plus any death dates and such as well. After taking a quick look through a few threads, it seems to me a lot of last names of spouses are mentioned here. I'm not looking for official help, more anecdotal for now. I'm just hoping to connect up with some or a few people and fill in a few blanks. As a side note, while everyone appears to have been born in Alloa, the town name I always heard as a child was Tillicoultry. Don't think that means anything, but it's there.
A cousin of mine has been able to fill in some stuff on more recent generations, such as extended family through spouses, so I won't include anything more recent than my great grandfather here, but he's the first one born outside Crackmannanshire from the looks of things. Myself, my father and my grandfather were all born in British Columbia, Canada. My great grandfather was born in Pennsylvania and his father was, apparently, born in Crackmannanshire. Anyway, from the beginning:
All Alexanders and Johns are Michies
