Hi there,

Have a look at the information that is in this sticky (http://www.british-genealogy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36108). It should provide a few pointers for you. :)

Hi,

My Alexander Wood is a recent discovery for me, so am stiil working on it. I found him in the OPR on the scotlands people website. Judging by the dates I have, I would think that Your Alexander would most likely be a grandson of mine, if there is a connection. Do you have any other clues, like middle names? I will keep searching.

Regards

Margaret
