Looking for relatives of Norman G. MacKinnon (b. 1921) of Greenock
« on: Saturday 21 January 17 17:55 GMT (UK) »
I'm new here, so bear with me if I'm posting something incorrectly.

Searching for any relatives of Norman Gillies MacKinnon, born June 12, 1921 in Greenock to Lachlan MacKinnon and Annie MacKinnon (nee MacKenzie).

Haven't had any luck on Ancestry finding any siblings of my grandfather's, and all of my family on this side has passed, thus I am curious to find any cousins/aunts/uncles. I recall being told that he had many siblings.

Thanks in advance,
Staysail

U.S., Social Security Applications and Claims Index, 1936-2007 for Norman G Mackinnon shows parents Lachlan MacKinnon   and Anne MacKenzie

Ancestry tree has the names of the same couple with other children  - if its not you - have you contacted the tree owner. (think your is the other tree - just noticed the same username)

I don't know if the family stayed in Greenock but if go back SP enter surname no given name select 1915 - 1930 there are a couple of obvious entries which "could" be siblings.  A Lachlan and an Annie.
