The Interface.
Ideally the Interface should be represented by a three dimensional model; (1)Location, (2) Time and (3) Population Movement; but, for ease of display, let us, for the moment, use the simple grid system:- viz,
(1) "Location" as the vertical "x" axis, expressed as Parishes (copy of county parish maps available from- www.ihgs.ac.uk/ );
(2) "Time" as the horizontal "y" axis, expressed as both "Approximate Dates" and as "Generations";
(3) "Population Movement" indicated by the "plotting" on the grid of individuals identified either by an "M" number ( see DATUM IV - Biographical Notes ) or by a date ( the date being the year of the baptism of his first child as per I.G.I. ); or both if considered to be the same individual.

Commentary.
It can reasonably be assumed that during those 300 years of continuous occupancy at Auchinbaddy (in the parish of Alvah), younger brothers would have moved away to take up tenancies of farms in surrounding parishes, even into Aberdeenshire and Morayshire.
Proving links across the "Interface" should not now be too difficult.
