hi everyone,
can any one help me find info on the sloan family.

and if it is possible to trace any other members of this family
many thanks
zander

Mmm ... zander - some help has been given in your previous threads which cover some of these people.

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,257953.0.html

I think the "Alexander Grattan SLOAN" perhaps belongs to another family ?

Seems more likely "a.g. sloan" is the "Adam Charles Gillespie  SLOAN" you've mentioned previously ?
