Thank you for that Peter, There are quite a few of my ancestors I'd like to invite - and they may not get on too well together! But who knows? It is a lovely idea. I'll choose GG-Grandmother Mary McNeill from Gigha - I would love too know more about how/when she reached Ayrshire and whether she was able to go home for visits. There are also Welsh ancestors but this is the Ayrshire list. Merry Christmas! Mary Bigger. Stronger. Faster. Sign up for a New Free Email Account at http://MyEmail.com

Ach, I have at least 3 ancestors with whom I would like to talk with for a day. 1)  My GGGgrandfather, John McQueen, who fought under the future Lord Wellington in the 74th Infantry of Foot in Spain in the Peninsular War:http://www.pbase.com/cjmax/image/147656074 2)  My GGgrandfather, Robert "Red Robin" Johnston, who married John McQueen's daughter, Mary McQueen:http://www.pbase.com/cjmax/image/39350512 3) and lastly, but certainly not the least, John Johnstoun who founded our Johnston line in Scotland which gave rise to Clan Johnston/e. Then I could die happy :-) Cliff.
