Thanks Ted, I did not know James born 1794 was from Giol, Kildalton. Where
is that located, is it a farm name? Have you ever seen any reference to
James born Jan. 14th., 1796 at Killean? It would be so nice is submitters of
these records would give their names or a way to contact them. Sure do not
give up easily do I. Best regards Lena Gilchrist---- Original Message -----
