I am trying to find out about William and his wife Jane. The excise records are in England and are not on line, so I was wondering if anyone knows anything about these two. They were Protestant, and their daughter Alice, born c. 1819, immigrated to Australia. We have found a birth record for her brother William. I would presume William and Jane are born c. 1790. One of them has strong ties to the Stephens and Laheys of Cavan. My mtdna is H5a1, if that helps, as Jane is in my direct female line. Any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to solve the puzzle of who my grandfather's biological parents were. We know through DNA that his mother lied when registering his birth, when she said he was the son of her and her husband. He was born in 1875 at 9 Tarbert Street, Glasgow. It was a tennement, and I have studied the families that were living there in 1871.  Now my brothers and I have many DNA cousins who have Snadons in their family tree, and I can confirm that at least four go back to William and Janet, so I would assume, they are our ancestors too. We also have DNA cousins with Spowarts and Beveridges. The Spowarts are mainly from Torryburn, Fife. I know it's a really long shot, but is there anyone who traces back to William Snadon and Janet Edie, with connections to these other families, and have ancestors in Glasgow around the time of my grandfather's birth? The surname Blackwood is also another not so common name that comes up. There is also a possible mormon connection. We have many DNA cousins who descend from an American couple, who have to be our 3 x great parents, and the only logical connection is through one of their sons who were in Joseph Smith's 1st 12 disciples. (We are New Zealanders with no known connections to the States.) One, Orson Pratt was on the first mission to Scotland in 1839, and was there again in 1849, so I would guess that at that time he fathered one of my grandfather's parents. I know it's looking for a needle in a haystack, but any help would be appreciated.

I am looking for Donald's parents and siblings. Donald was likely born in Hants, Nova Scotia in 1834, and he married Ruby Moody. He died in South Dakota, as did his children. Any help woud be appreciated, Diana

I am looking for any information on Sarah Ross and her husband John Fleming's families. They married in 1839 in Magilligan. The Flemings were from Drumavally, and the Rosses were from Ballymullholland. John Fleming's father, William, was living in Liverpool at the time of John's marriage. John at the time of his marriage was living with his uncle, Conolly Fleming. Sarah was the youngest of 6 daughters of William Ross. I would like to know who Sarah and John's mothers were. Any help would be appreciated, Jayne

This is my husband's gg grandfather, but I can't find out anything about him. His daughter, Jean (Jane) Carson Jamieson married James Bruce and they immigrated to New Zealand. Hugh was married to Janet Peebles. They did have quite a few more children.
