Hi Callie,
Dont know if this helps as you must be aware by now - there are a lot of sites (usually
ones trying to sell you something) claiming various clans. My dad always told us we were
from the Maclean clan. I have no reason to doubt him as Grandpa came to Australia from
Scotland in the 1930s so there wasnt a huge passage of time as some family have to compete
with. We are also from Renfrewshire originally & actually came across a cousin on this
site :) I do know that with our family - not that I know where or if we may cross you
understand, there are a heck of a lot of John's (great start.... they should be easy
to find in the census eh!) & a lot of Alexander's then you get the high infant
mortality rate as you go further back & you'll find when they have lost a son
called John, the next son born.... they name John! My sister has spent a lot of time
researching as much as possible so if you'd like to email me she may be able to give
you more info.
Kylie
