I wish I knew as much as you about my decedents. This is what I know about
my ggrandfather:

John Johnston born about Jan 12, 1833, emigrated to Canada around mid 1850s,
may have departed from Greenock after staying with a relative.
parents: John Johnston and Agnes Mc... looks like McLoc on a marriage cert,
but we always thought that a McLean was in our family.
He always said he was from Islay.
I know a lot about his after he came to Canada, but it is his Scottish roots
that I would like to delve into. Wish I had more.

As your Alexander Johnston and Mary Graham did not have a John, perhaps a
relative of Alexander did.

I have a photo of my ggrandfather which I've put up on the web at:
www3.telus.net/artnorma/johnston. We've always wondered if this was taken
somewhere on Islay.

If you do not have any information that would fit into this, perhaps someone
you recommended does. If you don't want to give out their e-mail, feel free
to forward this on to anyone!!

thks very much for your response.
Norma
