For a list of suggestions on how to broaden your search when stuck, go to the question mark inside of the circle at the top right of FamilySearch, click on it, in the search box type in "research help." You might also want to take advantage of the 20 minute free consultation with an expert at the Family History Library. How to Sign-up for Online Consultation

@ArleneGerek ArleneGerek I am sorry that the New York Group @New York has not been able to answer you yet.
What information do you already know about them?Do you have information on where John was born. What do you want to know about John?
I did find a John Kirk and Sarah Morgan in the FamilySearch Family Tree. His PID number is L1YQ-2FZ. However, this John's birth date is 1843 and not 1878. I also find him in an Ancestry Tree that you have put together. What records to you think are incorrect and are they attached to John in the FS Family Tree or in Ancestry?

Thank you for answering me. My grandfather William Kirk was born in Troy New York in 1878 however I cannot find any birth records or birth certificates. The only way I found out his parents name John Kirk and Sarah Morgan was by finding his marriage certificate. I would like to know more about my great grandparents John and Sarah. I cannot find any relatives on the Kirk side any place.
I am told that my grandfather William had a brother named James and his parents were supposedly from Scotland it's just been one dead and after the other I found a John Kirk in Troy New York born in 1843 and I have put his family on my tree but I don't think it is really my great grandfather I tried tracing some relatives through there and it didn't work
