McLaughlin family history

Hi - have been trying to piece together some family history.

So far I have only managed to concentrate on one side of the family namely the "BEATONS". As this is a work in progress, should anyone have information on the irish connections or any other connection, I would love to hear from you.

I started with just my immediate family and worked my way back from my dad's mum Jane Coutts Beaton.....
I have covered a large chunk, but still want to investigate more if I can...

For those just starting out - stick with it - it can become quiet addictive !!!
