Hi, to all on SFT.
I only joined last night and already have had a reply. What a great site.
Family names ( all from Ayrshire) are McKinstray, Hamilton, Gray and Clark, been collecting info for about 2 years now and am addicted.

Have lived in Dunfermline for 20 years now and my friend and I (Along with a few others) run West Fife Family History Group. Only a hobby group but if we can assist anyone please let us know.

Hi, Bitza,

Many thanks. I have looked at my direct tree to no avail but something rings a bell. I remember a Helen Aird...from Maybole ? is this the same person I wonder.

Hi Lynda

Welcome to SFT!

I told you they were friendly on here! Very Happy This a good site for info on Ayrshire and I am sure someone will be able to help with your queries.

Lynda and I(along with a few others) have been working hard getting West Fife Family History Group off the ground and now have some good resources if folk are looking for Fife rellies.

Hi Jock

I have been telling Lynda about the site for a while but she only got a good look at it yesterday!

Offer still stands if we can help anyone out who doesn't live in Dunfermline area. I am in Kirkcaldy 2-3 times a week too so I can take photos of places there too.

Sorry Lynda didn't mean to take over your intro!

Diana
