Hi Alex and welcome to Rootschat,

On the Surname Interests section of the website, http://surname.rootschat.com/ (which can be accessed from the bottom of every page on Rootschat) there are 3 users researching the Robertson family in particuarly Paisley:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=106412

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=68820

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=41268

There are others researching Robertsons from the surrounding area, but those users particuarly mention Paisley in their entry on the list.

To personal message them, you'll need to make 2 more posts on Rootschat. If you have any specific questions about any ancestors then you could ask them to make 2 more posts, and then also receive answers to help knock down brick walls from the friendly Rootschat community.

Once you've made 2 more posts, click on a link to a person's profile and click 'send personal message' in the column on the left hand side. I usually include my email address in a personal message as it is often easier to email information rather than sending it via a website such as Rootschat.

I hope this helps.

Jack

Also remember to add your surname interests to the list so other members can find you.

Hi alex

I have many Robertsons in Paisley in my direct line but so far can't hook up with yours. However I will bookmark this so if anything comes up I can let you know.
