Im really stuck. I have three families of which I am the only person on the site with them. They are McGlead, Ganslandt and Ganzert. The latter two are German and there are a few places that have them, though not many. But McGlead is proving very hard. There are a few on Freebmd but not from the area I have and not my names apart from the Alverstoke area. familysearch have even fewer and putting it in google doesnt come up with anything useful. There are a few living in the country, mostly southern but if they arnt on this site would they be interested in sharing info? Does any one know any McGleads? What I know does sound interesting. |

You're right, there don't seem to be too many about! There are a few McGleads on Ancestry - 5 on the 1901 census (all one family, in Alverstoke!) and a few more on the Civil Registration Index, though they would all be on FreeBMD too. It looks like only 3 have died since 1984 too! Carole |

Hi Amanda Have you tried the online white pages telephone directories at http://www.infobel.com/uk/default.asp for living McGleads. You can also look at other countries. The only drawback is that you need to know the area in which people live Regards Ron |

You could ask if anyone on here has electoral roles for the area you are interested in, then you could just write to any that you think might have a connection to your family. I have written out of the blue to people who live at addresses I am interested in and have been pleasantly surprised at the response I've had. Kath |

Hope this doesn't sound rude, but have you tried other ways of spelling McGlead on places like BMD etc? Just a thought, and the best I could do! Mandy :) |
