	You need someone in Scotland..to check births to your Grandmother's name..maybe you can do it on-line but you cannot see the info..you have to order it. You have your father's birth certificate which will give your grandmother's birth name. If you then look up her birth you will get her parents' names and the date of their marriage..that is how you go backwards in time. Suzanne
