You are now a member of WikiTree! Please help us build one Collaborative Global Family Tree, which means only one profile per person. It's important that no duplicates are created and profiles are properly sourced- if you have pre-1700's ancestors to add please read our Pre-1700 profiles info.

To help you get started, view this introductory WikiTree video.

For a list of Member benefits, see Community Members page.

We also have Mentors who will be glad to answer questions.

Hi everyone in the Gillespie line. I am a descendant of Duncan Gillespie born about

1780 in the Isle of Islay, Scotland. His son Donald was born in 1824 and immigrated to Canada as a young boy with his brother Duncan who was 2 years younger. I am unsure of the rest of the family as to how many came to Canada. Nor am I sure that the father Duncan came to Canada since it may have just been the mother with some of her relatives.

My older brother Donald has undergone a DNA test and I will submit the results once I pull the file.

Our Gillespie ancestors settled in Thorah in Brock Township Ontario near Beaverton.

Some of them moved to Lutterworth in Haliburton County and some moved to Saskatchewan, BC and USA in later years.

warm regards Dale
