It’s unlikely that Gill will be looking for a reply on here after nearly 16 years.

Click on her name and send a message through GR. If she hasn’t changed her e-mail, she will be notified, and have the option to respond.

Hi Gill,

You do not say which way you are hoping to go? are you looking for Desendants or Ancestors?

Gill Report 30 Dec 2007 19:04

My grandmother was Mary Jane Shiach, born 1902. Her fathers name is George Alexander Shiach (born 1865 in Rothes) living in the Elgin/Lossiemouth area. During the 1950's the family owned a couple of trawlers and and couple of lorry's. There were several children, Mary Jane being one of them. Other siblings names I have been given include, Chrissie (1907) Norman, George, Esther (married Tommy Bell) and Jimmy (married Grace unknown). I have tried endless routes to find more of my family line but seem to hit a dead end with any direction I take. If anyone can help me with any information I would be really pleased.

With thanks

Gill
