I have only recently started researching my family tree and I came across this thread. My line comes down through James brother John born 17/2/1834 to John Birnie (b in Cruden 1809) and Elspet Hall (b. Monquiter 1807). I'd be grateful for anything you might have that would help me. My email address is frank.dunbar@which.net or frank.dunbar@tiscali.co.uk

Thanks in anticipation.
