David,
Could you post your grandparent's details, and someone can have a look also?
Thanks

David

Of course patchem,

My Father Samuel Galway Irvine,was born 15/10/19/1918
He was the youngest son of Samuel Galway Irvine sr and Sarah Irvine nee McLarnon.
Father had an older sister named Rose and a brother also named Samuel who died as a child.

Samuel sr was the son of Francis and Rosana Irvine.
My Father was born in Osborne Street,Belfast,Northern Ireland in the Duncairn Ward.

Francis either shared his home or vice verca.I know he lived in the same street.

Samuel sr was a dock labourer.
Francis was also a labourer.

For those who are not aware, I would mention that this thread was originally posted over two years ago and relates to the 'Old' Family Search site.
http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp

Family Search are in the process of implementing their 'New' site which has a different records and search templates, so some of the original tips may not work as described.

I have also been using family search and found it rather long winded, although the info eventually surfaces.
I just wish that the Scots Origins site was still intact. I found this so easy to use.

Submitted Entries.
I am always dubious about these, but never discount them.
Where I can, I use the info and try to find the evidence for myself.
I have found many instances where, especially with early Scottish births, a father's name only was provided on the parish record.
Often, both the extracted and submitted entries are available.

Submitted entries often added a mother (and occasionally the parents marriage ) for the child.
In my experience, this is where many of the the inaccuracies occur.

My family lived in Lanarkshire and was the only family of their surname in the parish.
4 sons, all married, and all had sons of the same names
It is the marriages , subsequent births ect relating to this second generation who have been confused with each other on submitted entries.

I accept that ultmitely, they do all share the same paternal grandparents, but it means that researchers are unaware that they may be looking at incorrect maternal lines
