Thanks Muff. This entire thing started last week when I posted on the
Inverness list about a letter I have from a Smith on PEI to my Smiths in
Ohio around 1820. One repply I recieved to this queery whas from a
researcher who named my 5th great grandfather and grandmother she said his
name was John Kealoch alias McPherson. She also said she had a transcript
of his eviction notice from his farm in Croy Parish. Now this information
has me taken aback. This must be a popular family because another
researcher sez he was a Kenedy. Whats a family recearcher to do when when
we can't even agree on what happened yesterday?

Thanks
a confused Brent McPherson...Kealoch?
in East Liverpool Ohio
