You have probably realised by now that I am also interested in Kirkintilloch. I am also a member of the Society of Australian Genealogists. http://www.ozemail.com.au/~socgenes/sag.html Have a look - well worth joining. Was in there the other day and there was a most comprehensive History of Kirkintilloch. I will be going back this week and will check on the author but I would bet that this is the one. SAG.

Hello Donald Haldane, or "The Haldane" as it is known locally, is a Local Council Housing scheme largely built in the 1950s and 1960s. It lies to the immediate north of Jamestown, and to the east of Balloch proper. There is a school there known as Haldane Primary School. Most of the houses are terraces or blocks of flats (i.e. apartments). There are plenty of good folk in the Haldane, but it gets a bad name sometimes from a minority who are at the fringes of society, deal in drugs, and so on. While the housing estate may be comparatively recent, the name "Haldane" is not, deriving from the Mill o' Haldane, which in turn took its name from the one-time proprietors of the land, the Haldanes of Gleneagles who, at the partition of The Lennox in 1425, acquired this portion of land. I hope this is of interest. Best wishes Arthur Arthur F.

I know you can get it of micro film from your local Morman Libary and what I did was get copies of the section I wanted to refer to. And if you get it you can get it for infinite loan.

Hi, Referring to my previous message: I believe I deciphered the place name I read as "Grenfroon";I think that it is Glen Fruin. I have evidence that the man came from Duirland and that would tie in. Does anyone have a better thought? Thank you. Bob -- Robert H. & Doris A. Ferree P.O. Box 116 Grizzly Flats California 95636 U.S.A. robertf@innercite.com

Hi, I would appreciate help in identifying a place name that appears to be "Grenfroon". I am working with the 1851 Census of Dunbartonshire and the handwriting, in this case, is difficult to read. I am guessing that the area would be Roseneath. Thank you for any assistance. Bob -- Robert H. & Doris A. Ferree P.O. Box 116 Grizzly Flats California 95636 U.S.A. robertf@innercite.com
