Hi Joyce Nicely put that bit about my pontificating....made me laugh today on an otherwise lousy but beautiful day I'm glad to see that all the regulars are still nosing about......I felt very guilty about disappearing for so long and not stirring the soup Fortunately there are enough obsessive characters in the Carib world to sustain this group. I am without reference books or maps at present so cannot be of much help to others so I will rely on you, Dorothy and others till I get myself properly assembled Cheers chriscod C.M.

Joyce and other Caribbean Researchers. I'm researching any of the spellings of the RENFRO, etc name in the Caribbean. Can you check "Scots in the West Indies 1707-1857" by David Dobson, please. Or recommend any other sources for locating family in the Caribbean. I have just joined the list, and have almost no knowledge of the Caribbean. Look forward to learning from all of you.

Hello Joyce Thank you so much for this info of Dr Donald MacQueen. He was my 3x g-grandmother's brother, Marion (MacQueen) MacLeod. I am puzzled about what info you might have of Dr Alexander MacLeod. Don't think Murdoch's brother was ever in the West Indies although he was also a famous doctor back in Scotland. All I know of so far is that Dr Murdoch MacLeod was born about 1784 in North Uist, Scotland and Marion MacQueen was born in 1791. I can't imagine that they married much before 1812-17 and then they went to the West Indies. My 2x g-grandmother was born in the WI about 1818. I am suspecting Dr Murdoch's wife Marion died in childbirth and Dr Murdoch came back to Scotland with the child. I have a copy of Dr Murdoch's Will as he died in Scotland March 3, 1822. He left his daughter with his brother, Dr Alexander MacLeod in North Uist, Scotland. If you can add anything of this family for me, I sure would be pleased. Thanks again.
