Durbin Gaw was my g-g-g-grandfather. I have my line from him to me, and from him to John from Ireland/Scotland. Like everyone else, I want to learn if John is from Dunfermline, Fife County,Scotland (Most likely mangled by an earlier researcher into Dunferaline, County Antrim, Ireland, since he was married and had children in that county.} I have also seen him as from Ayr, Scotland.
Does anyone have any documentation or a source citation, to prove which part of Scotland?
Also, I have not seen any citation of a marriage or birth record, other than a will or local history book. Has anyone verified this information by locating the birth and marriage records in Ireland? If this information is found, it may lead us to the right place in Scotland.
