Several of us Australians are researching our Carswell roots from Scotland. As yet we are unconnected but would appreciate anyone out there with Scottish Carswell's to contact us with any details so we can try for a match. My particular Carswells came from Paisley, Scotland. John CARSWELL married Elizabeth BUCHANAN and had the following children: Margaret - 1818 Eliza - 1821 John - 1823 Thomas - 1825 My line is Thomas, who married twice and settled in Australia. Any info on the above or any others from Scotland would be much appreciated, Regards, Judie, from the land-down-under but now living in Maine, U.S.A. http://members.tripod.com/~jmoore2/ http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/7619/ http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/a/b/s/Judie-A-Abson/index.html Researching the names ABSON, CARSWELL, CHENEY, KEEPENCE, LEDGER, McCRACKEN, SMART, WALKER, WOODFORD from Australia, England, Scotland, Ireland and MOORE from England and Massachusetts/Maine, USA.
