Hi Carolyn,
Nice to hear from you,had just set up my account yesterday and took me a little time set up my profile and so pleased you received my message.Generally pretty poor with social media,I can't even find how to put up a photo of myself,although you seemed to have managed.
Obvs the McGeechan name seems fairly prolific in Lanarkshire,our family moved to Ayrshire from Wishaw/Cleland/Craignuek way back in the 1920s.
My Grandfather John McGeechan and His brother Thomas had a half sister Jeanie who would maybe have been born circa1888,her mother died when she was around 8 or so and her father (my Great Grandfather) Patrick was killed in a mining accident in the Wishaw area in 1896. He went on to marry again Catherine Kelly or Kane,unsure of any Philip but then I haven't discovered much about Patrick yet other than being born in Ireland like so many others.
I also have an aunt Jeanie (Jean) named after her who lives near me here in Alloway.
I have some info on my McGeechan Family tree on Ancestry but as yet I haven't opened a full account as yet but will soon,I find it all quite addictive,despite not having an addictive personality.The strange thing about the Jeanie in my family line is my aunty doesn't even know what happened to her,whether she was taken in by other family members or passed away,we are unsure.
Ian..
