STIRLINGSHIRE  RECORDS


As part of my ongoing quest in the search for my ancestors, I've created a number of databases  that I'm now beginning to share with the world at large. 99% of these individuals are not related to me - or maybe some are but I don't know it yet.  They will be related be to some of you out there. If you connect with anyone on these pages then let me know and I'll put your name in lights along side the individual. Also I've left some room for additional notes, so if have any other information about any one,  then, again, let me know and I'll share it with the world. I mean information like, maiden names, parents, children, links with other individuals or immigration to far off climes. Just make sure you give me enough info to know who your talking about - Record ID or Page number.  Those who have made connections to my line are listed on this page

If you want to help me put more of the Stirlingshire Parishes online then just email  me at the link below. - All the best,  Tom
