Hello June,I am doing research on both my grandparents and father. My grandfather,s name was Alexander Paton born in 1881 in or around Sauchie. My grandmother was born on May 4,1883 in or around Alva.Her name was Jessie Tainsh daughter of George Tainsh,Jr., and Jessie MacDougall.They left Scotland for the U.S.A. from Glasgow on the ship Furnessia in 1911 and arrived in New York May 1,1911. They had with them their only child Alexander Jr., They traveled west to Pennsylvania and settled in the hard coal region of Pa., in a place called Lansford and several years later moved 1 mile to the top of the hill to a place called Summit Hill. Alex,Sr., was a miner by trade and his son followed his line of work at 16. Both died of miner's lung disease. I am trying to trace any relatives from either side. Any help would be a blessing to me. Thank You, Sandra Estelle Paton Hill.
