All- I have been very puzzled by the middle name of MacFarlane in my ancestor's names. There are two of them - James (b 1856) and Thomas (b. 1864). Now, a little background here - My great grandfather was Andrew Robertson Scollick Duff because he was born out of wedlock to Jean Scollick and Andrew Robertson almost 5 years before Jean Scollick married John Duff (of whom I know that he was born in Glasgow and his parents were Jean McMillin and John Duff and died in 1870). Ok, I got it now that great grandfather Andrew got his name after his true father. Now two years before Jean married John in 1858, she had Thomas' brother James MacFarlane Duff. Thomas was born in 1864 - 6 years after they wed. Why oh why would she name him Thomas MacFarlane Duff? Was James the illegitimate son of John Duff? No record of father on James birth certificate. John Duff was the father of Thomas. No previous generations of Scollick had MacFarlane connections. It must be from John's side then. Could the Macfarlane be from grandfather and uncles of John? I'm puzzled and I don't know where to look. Bob

Marc Have you tried the McQueen Net List at Rootsweb.com with any luck? I was at the Stone Mountain Games in Atlanta, Georgia in mid October and I am sure that I saw a tent with McQueen on it. They mayhave been at the Clans Gathering at Edinburgh in July last year as well.

Thank you for your reply. Not my Watsons or my Howies, but my Great Great grandparents Sarah COWAN and Thomas McAughtrie married in Ayr 1849. Thos. was a dairyman, and obviously moved around a bit, they had children born in Colyton, Dalrymple, Kirkmicheal, and three in Maybole. I haven't been able to find parent info for Sarah Cowan, although I do seem to remember that Thos McA (Sarah's husband) died in Dundonald. I only say seem to remember, because of a computer fry, but I will check into my hard copy pile of McAughtrie stuff. It was either a death, or some census information, but I have a note about you on my to-do list. Hope I can help establish a connection. I will get back to you.
