Thank you for the Welcome
Although I have Scottish antecedents no Muir/ Mure yet.
My interest is in a branch of my employers' family. That of George Mure MD RN 177-1858 who was a naval surgeon on board HMS Lancaster in the French Revolutionary Wars who lost is sight c. 1797-1801, & gained a naval pension. However he married & had family living in Edinburgh . He is said to have been from Minnigaff near Newton Stewart, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland
The family moved to various parts of the world - New Orleans LA , Mobile Alabama, Australia,
Do you have any information of this family...
I tried to attach here the first 4 generations of his tree - is this the right place -
Some Cut
Modified Register for George Mure , MD, RN,
First Generation
1. George Mure , MD, RN, was christened on 4 Dec 1777 in Munig Off Bliner sic., Kirkcubright , SCOTLAND. He died on 27 Mar 1858 in 35 Dublin St, Edinburgh.
Possibly - Muncraig , Borgue , Kirkcudbrightshire
[or Minnigaff, Kirkcudbrightshire, SCOT]
I will look for place to add my tree!!!
cheers Mark

Thanks for giving me access to your site.
I contacted you several years ago but you were unable to help me. The reason is that I did not have good information. I am happy to say I am just home from Glasgow where I was able to get copies of my grandparents birth certificates. There were a few surprises. I now have info you can add to your data base and who knows maybe link me.
How is the best way to share this with you?
I would also be interested in who you are connected to in Plymouth as my husbands family on his mothers side goes back to the Mayflower. She is a memeber of the Mayflower Society.
Thanks again,
Kathy
