Hi there - I'm interested in this Kinnis/Kinnes tree which has been added on GENI.com

including this direct ancestor -

and I've summarised one family (with no descendants!) from it in a blog here -

I'm interested in another son, William's family.

and grandson, James Kinnis   who moved to Kirk o' Shotts farm and was there around 1900.

Hi,
I have an interest in Agnes Law who married James Kinnis. Agnes was the daughter of Isabella Howieson born a few years prior to her marriage to Robert Law, my wife's gg uncle, son of Robert Law and Janet Spence. As you are probably aware Agnes was born on 2nd August 1857 and on the birth certificate there is no father's name just "illegitimate" in the space for the father's name.  Whether Robert was actually the father and later made Isabella an "honest women" is open to speculation, although Robert was named as her father on both her marriage and death certificates.!! I was wondering if you had any thoughts. My wife is descended from Hugh Law, Robert's younger brother and has done the ancestry DNA test if this is if any interest?
All the best
John Hendry
