Well here goes! Massive family I know nothing about. I am a Graham from Ecclefeccan. Fathers name Alvar. Grandfather Andrew and grandmother Annie. Thats it...thats all I have! I believe my father had 13 brothers and sisters so I have a lot of researching to do. Where oh where do I start as Iv never done anything like this before??? Its so difficult with such a huge family with a common name and no dates for births deaths or marriages etc. ANY input or advice is welcome. Thanks!

Hello.

My grandmother was from Ecclefechan, Marion Johnstone. Her sister was Nellie, who married a man called Graham. I have heard the name Alvar mentioned by my older brother as a relative, possibly my mum's cousin. I believe that Nellie, born around 1905-1910, would have been Alvar's grandmother ?

Hi everyone! Brilliant! And thank you!
Some of the names are familiar with my very young childhood kizziemay. Im heading north to Scotland very soon so will do some research up there. I know a lot of my fathers siblings still live around the area. I just dont know all the names. Huge family so I probably have many cousins etc I didnt even know existed. Is anyone on here related to me by any chance? I am Alvars oldest from his first marriage. Dawn xx
