Hi Pat,
I haven't hear about the games at Stone Mtn. Fill me in?
Do you have a John McArthur in your line? I have found a reference that my
Edward Campbell and a John McArthur were good friends and kins men, but I
can't find any tie in.
What kind of facilities do they have at Stone Mtn.? Let me know a little more
of what you have in mind.
Thanks,
Bob Campbell
Eric,
Thanks. I passed there many times and did not know what was in that
building. Only one more week until I leave the sunny Sahara for God's own
country!

Dear Kim,
I saw read your recent email with interest, I have only been researching my
family history for a short time.
However I do know that my great Grandmother Annie Mctaggart was born on
Islay about 1884, she left the island in her twenties and moved to Glasgow
where she later met and married William Craig a shipbuilder they went on to
have seven children. As far as I know she never left Glasgow and that she
outlived William and that she died about 1955.
If any of this ties in with your research please
a quote via susan visser in reference to guelph....
"We were warmly greeted by Helen Salmon, Acting Chief Librarian"
monta....someone related to you???
cheers,
steve

Hi Bob
I have a possible contact for you. My friend Karen sent me the email address of
a Cornelia Holmes, who is researching Campbells and sinclairs in North
Carolina. I know its a different State, but you never know. Here it is, good
luck. Keep me posted
with your progress.

Hello again listers,
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to order a marriage certificate from the GRO, for a marriage that took place in 1828. This marriage is listed on the IGI so I will have the approximate date.
Thanks

Hi Bob Campbell,
Sorry I didn't see your postings before but I have had 2 operations
sense Feb. and then I went to Montana to visit my brother. My maiden name
is McArthur and I also have McEacherns in my line. So, your line came
across with mine. There is a MacEachern web site that is great. Here it is--

A frequent pattern (as I know from Tiree emigrants) was to first go to a
place where family had friends had settled perhaps a generation earlier,
then use that as a base to find new land to settle and earn some cash wages.
In the case of Tiree emigrants, many came to Brock township and stayed a
couple of years before heading to Bruce or Grey counties which were opened

The clearances did not hit Islay until about 1840. Being deep in the heart
of Campbell country (Argyll) had its benefits.
As for moving around the farms. This has always been common, and still is
to a certain extent today. Each year at the annual fair (livestock show,
auction etc), farmers and farm hands would make employment deals for the
coming year. With the employment came a tied house (i.e. a house on the
employer's farm), hence the change of address every time they changed jobs.

Hi, while I was researching my line of MacEachern and McArthur, in the
FAMILY TREE MAKER'S FAMILY ARCHIVES for Immigration Records:Scottish
Immigrants to North America, 1600s-1800s I ran across Daniel McArthur born
in Islay, Argylshire C 1745. Died in NC on 9 Aug 1819. Buried in
Longstreet Presbyterian Cemetery,Hoke County NC. on page 118.
Hope this helps someone. Dianne Gordon
Hi Ron,
I also belong to a Sinclair discussion group, and the Hudson Bay Company gets discussed often, because so many people from the Orkneys
were recruited in the late
1700s.
Re Islay, near edmonton - A few of the families who left Islay, in the mid 1800s settled an area of
Victoria County, between Lindsay and Beaverton, around Eldon and Fenelon Townships. They named their village Islay, or Islay Corners.
One of the original
families was Gilchrist, and in the 1870s one of them moved to Alberta, and he

Hi Steve and all Listers
Some may not be aware that the three numbers given in a previous message are for microfilm not microfiche.
Microfilms cost about $5.00 to $6.00 to order depending on the FHC (that is your local Family History Center usually located at a local LDS church or center). They take a few weeks to come and are usually held here for about three weeks. You can usually extend the stay about one more month for an additional fee. Sometimes the stay can be extended one more time. IF the st
Dear Bob:
Sorry I cant help with your McEacherns. I do have a Miss McKechnie on my
tree who was my gggg grandmother. She married Donald Lamont. I dont have
any firm dates but Im guessing that they married around 1785. I believe that
they lived in Kilmeny parish.

Hello All,
I have made several post to these list before about the Campbell's and
McEacherns and gotten no response, so I will try again with some info I just

This is what I have,
Edward Campbell, born 1757 in Scottish Highlands
Mary McLellan, born 1759 on Islay
Married in 1777 on the Kentyre Peninsula
Children, all born Scottish Highlands
Charles, born 1780
Duncan, born 1782
Mary, born 1784
Daniel (David), born 1786
They left Scotland in abt 1788 to C
Now your asking me to go way back. It be honest I don't really remember
much about it as I was very young at the time. I may just have been a TV
movie, I really can't remember.

To be honest you don't want to hear my stories. I started going to my
Grandmother at 2 years old, she lived in Port Charlotte by that time. My 3
oldest sisters were evacuated there for the duration of the war so they have
better stories than me.
As a teenager in the 60s another of my sisters and I, plus 11 of our friends
always stayed in Bowmore for 2 weeks in boarding houses - not with relatives
so we had a ball. We were known as one of the 13 and all we did was dance.

Here is some more info on McTaggart's. I extracted these from the
Kildalton, Oa, Kilmeny and Killarrow OPR microfiche. I sorted the names
into POSSIBLE family groups to see if it would reveal anything
interesting. It was fun to do and it helped my search. My McTaggarts are
from Giol and Killeyan are id with a *. Let me know if this does not
