Hi Lorne:. I have these McDermids in my research. There were 2 McDermid families who settled in Nottawasaga. The ones you mention I call the 6th line McDermids and the others ones I call 10th line McDermids. They were not really related until one married a McDermid girl from the 10th line. As with every family it gets complicated and confusing. Thankyou for the info and for replying. Every little bit helps. Wanda --------------------------------- All new Yahoo!
