HI Ross Listers,
Good idea, It is slow, so I will post a query:
Looking for any info on George LOGAN born born 1747 Kiltearn parish R and C.
But lived at "Spinningdale" with 9 children and married to a Christian GAIR.
The Logan family emigrated to Pictou, Nova Scotia in 1806.
HAve got back as far as this birth record thru the IGI, and am "stumped",as
to how to proceed further!
Thanking you for any clues or advice,
Barbara Logan in BC Canada.
I remember seeing various mentions of Lewis ministers recently and thought
the extract below might interest somebody out there.
Noted in the Clan Matheson Society of New Zealand Newsletter June 1999:
Norman MATHESON from Callinish, Lewis emigrated to New Zealand 1860s,
married 1867 at Auckland to Ann McDONALD. Schoolteacher at various places,
including Waipu in Northland NZ (Highland settlement). 10 children b in NZ.
Norman was son of ANGUS MATHESON from Lochinver, Assynt who was called to be
a schoolteach

Help Needed!
Is there anyone living in the vicinity of Nigg or Fearn Graveyards who
could help me find out
information about a HUGH ROSS one of the sons of DAVID ROSS of Balblair.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.
Sincerely,

I am trying to find info regarding Lachlan (Laughlin) McKenzie born Ross-shire maybe Isle of Skye 25 Dec 1795. Arrived in Quebec Canada pre 1829. Married Janet Harold @ Quebec City 1829. First male child is Donald, then female Christian, then Rebecca, then male Malcolm.
A possible parents of Janet are James Harrold & Christian Mode of Orkney. There is a child with name of James.
One guess could be that Lachlan's parents could be Donald & Rebecca or Malcolm & Rebecca. Can anyone help?

Hi Bob, I saw your email in the Rootsweb Mailing List. I am also researching
Munro's in the Tarbat, Tain, Fearn area.
My Munro is also a David born approx 1793/4 in Tain (or at least he says
that in the 1851 Census). I cannot find his birth in Tain. He married an
Elspett Gibb (b:1805/6 Rathven) in Rathven 5 Jan 1825, They had 7 children:
Andrew 7 Nov 1826 Rathven
Margaret 27 Apr 1829 Fordyce
John 25 Dec 1831 Fordyce
George 17 mar 1834 Fordyce
Archibald 2 Oct 1836 Fordyce

Hi Lyndall,
Message received okay so the list is functioning. However, it doesn't
seem to be very active at the moment. Perhaps everyone should send
their interests to get things moving a little more?
My interests are:
RANKIN - Torridon/Easter Ross
MACDONALD/POTTS/RANGER - Stornoway and Killilan
MACBEATH - Torridon/Shieldaig/Applecross
Of all my lines of research, the Ross-shire ones are the ones I have the
least information on, so I would appreciate any info or feed-back from
other list members.

Hello,
I'm researching the names Campbell, Morrison, McLeod, and Bain in Parish
Barvas, Isle of Lewis. These families were in the north part of the
Isle of Lewis, including Habost, North & South Dell, and Swainbost from
1800 on, and probably earlier. Some members of the family went to
Canada 1850-1860 to work for Hudson's Bay Company in Saskatchewan, one
to Quebec, another to Boston, Mass., and some appear to have stayed on
the Isle of Lewis.
Thanks,

Hi Vern,
Thanks for letting me know about the re-union in the National Hotel,
Dingwall. I have copied this reply to BritRegiments, GenTrivia Scotland and
Ross-gen being the three most natural places for anyone interested in our
sadly now defunct but once famous county Regiment, the Seaforth Highlanders.
All the best,

Searching for anyone associated with the Mathesons in Fodderty Parish.
My relation, Alexander Matheson was Christened in Fodderty in 1741. His
father is listed as Charles Matheson. Charles also had a son John, Christened
in 1739.
During the same time period, there was a Duncan Matheson, Donald Matheson and
a Findlay Matheson living in Fodderty. Oral history lists Christian MacKenzie
as the wife of Charles. Findlay's wife was Mary Dingwall. Duncan's wife was
Mary Gordon. Donald's wife was Helen Fras

Linda, I just read your response to Heather with great interest. My
2gr-grandmother Anne Dodds worked at Priest Hill and married John Munro
foreman at Rhives in 1828. They had Ann Graham of Milton as witness to two
of their children (one of those being my gr grandmother). Of course there may
be no real connection but I'm excited to see something as ordinary as a farm
in common as it makes their lives so much more personal.

Hi Lesley,
I do not have a lot of information on the Harveys.
Donald HARVEY, born about 1819 in Inverness Shire, Scotland, married Helen
GRAHAM, born about 1817 RossShire, Scotland.
Most likely Kilmuir Easter. They may have also been married in Kilmuir
Easter.
(There is an IGI record stating that Helen Graham married Donald Harvey on
27 June 1837 in Kilmuir Easter, Ross and Cromarty, Scotland. I have not
checked this out further.)
Their children all born in Scotland were:

Hello Heather
The only details about my Thomas are a birthdate of between 1792/1796
based on age 45 (rounded down to nearest 5) in 1841 census and that he
was not born in Ross-shire but was born somewhere else in Scotland. No
confirmed parents or siblings and I still haven't identified his
birthdate/birthplace. If the traditional naming pattern applied then his
father would be named James, same as his oldest son, and Magdalene's
parents would be Robert & Isabella (names of second son and oldest
