Welcome to Charles Mullan who has joined this week. If you haven't already contributed, we hope to hear from you soon. ****** ****** ****** Well, the first monthly topic "Unusual stories from old newspapers about Bute or about my Buteshire Ancestors" seems to have run out of steam, after some welcome initial postings, - - -. However with 'early' postings for next month's topic "Who, out of all your Buteshire ancestors, would you invite to dinner today ?" already appearing, March promises to provide interesting reading. For this last week of February - perhaps some on-list postings / discussion on other possible topics ? ****** ****** ****** Correction - having broken my own rules about checking and rechecking family history items before posting, in last weeks example for the upcoming topic, I mixed my generations - I would still on balance have invited Isabella Colquhoun (nee Buchanan), but it was her daughter Christina Wilson (nee Colquhoun) who went to the US to live with her married daughter Isabella Buchanan Racette (nee Wilson), then returned to live out her days with her spinster sister Agnes Colquhoun. ****** ****** ****** Feel free to join in and present your own items.
