Hi,
If you can tell me roughly when and where born I can look tomorrow on the fiche and books at the library. BMD all available for SW Scotland for free up to a certain point. Grave inscriptions also available. They are transcribed so easier to read but not always acurate.
As for Sarah McAdam, she married David Mckeand and had a son robert, who had a son mathew, who had a son john, who had a william, who had me, gill. Can only find David's father, no mother mentioned, so I'm stuck in 1799. Hey ho, will have to start another line.

I am also related to this Sarah McKeand and have just started my research into the family. I am stuck at David and Sarah and have no information on his parents; would love to find out more.

Hi Kate

Welcome to Rootschat 

Hopefully Alepohori will receive notifications that we have posted here and come back soon.

It's a shame though that they have gone back and removed the details from their posts, you may have found out more information.

Editing posts in that way makes a nonsense of the topic

Hi, David and Sarah were my mother's ggg grandparents. I have a birth date for David of 1796(?) but am stuck there; trying to find out his parent's names and where born.

Hi Kate

I have just happened upon your message regarding David McKeand and Sarah McAdam, who were my GGG grandparents.

David McKeand and Sarah McAdam had ten (documented) children, among whom was Agnes McKeand, my GG grandmother, who married William Griffin.

William Griffin and Agnes McKeand had six children, notably James Alison Griffin, David McKeand Griffin, William Griffin (my great grandfather), Robert Griffin, Agnes Griffin and Sarah Helen Griffin (known as Sissie).

The parents of David McKeand (born 1796) were David McKeand and Mary Porter.

If you send me a PM, I'll share all the information I have on our McKeands.

Cheers,

Rodeo

hi kate, my research is mary mckeand, daughter of david mckeand and sarah mcadam and her husband john shennan. Have concentrated more on his line, for my daughter in law, I have mary's maternal grandparents as robert mcadam and nickulus nitters.  i see rodeo is related through mary's sister agnes, what is your connection.

Hi Alepohori

Kate is, like your daughter-in-law, descended from Mary McKeand. I have much information on her McKeand/Shennan relations, which was compiled by one of our cousins, who is also a descendant of Mary McKeand.

If you send me a PM with your email address, I would be most happy to share that information with you.

Many thanks to Monica for so astutely moving this topic to the Kirkcudbright forum, where it will be more widely read. I only happened upon this McKeand thread (in the Beginners forum) fortuitously while doing a related search.

Cheers,

Rodeo
