Hello to you all, I have been tracking a family in Glasgow that I *believe* to be relatives (long story, but the son of James Edward TAYLOR ended up in Peru, which is where my great grandfather Alexander TAYLOR was born and there are similar names in the families). In one of the Glasgow directories (1874) James Edward was listed as doing business in Glasgow, but his home address was given as Dunclutha Helensburgh. Does anyone know what that may refer to - I assume it means he lived in Helensburgh, but what is Dunclutha? I also believe he died soon after that time, as his widow is in Bothwell in 1881 as an "annuitant" age 36. Is it likely that he left a will? If he died in Helensburgh how can I find a will and/or a burial place? Thanks for any help. Barbara Vellturo Vermont, USA

Am trying to trace my aunt Ethel Mary CUSK maiden name was DUNN who I believe died in june? in Ballock, Dunbartonshire. She married in 1939 to a James Cusk who was born in Alexandra, Scotland and died in May 1973 presumably in Ballock, Dunbartonshire also. Is anyone researching this name and can help me. Gratefully Roger Dunn dunny@ca.com.au

Looking for information on the family of William WAUGH and wife Mary BROWN who were married at the Alexandria Roman Catholic Church in Bonhill in 1860.

The WAUGHs live in Milton Terrace, Jamestown from about 1888 till about 1911. Catherine married James MANSON in Bonhill in 1888; Isabella married William GALLACHER in Bonhill in 1887. B. Manson Edmonton Alberta Canada

Looking for the family of John MCKAY and first wife, Janet Caldwell. They had seven children born between 1865 and 1882. When Janet died John McKay married Elizabeth SMITH in 1884. An additional 8 children were born between 1885 and 1906 probably at 58a Napierston Terrace. John McKay died in December 1916 at 161 Main Street, Jamestown.

Looking for information on the family of James M. MANSON (b. 1862 So. Leith) who married Catherine WAUGH (b. 1861 Renton) in Bonhill in Dec 1888. They live at Milton Terrace from about 1888 to 1914. James and Catherine worked at the Turkey Red Dye Works. James was heavily involved in the famous strike there in 1910. Catherine and James raised 8 children in Jamestown between 1890 and 1906: Mary, Robert, Isabella, Catherine, John, James, William, Margaret. The family had close ties with WAUGHs, BROWNs, GALLACHERs, WATSONs, CARMICHAELs, FERGUSONs. Daughter Mary was a teacher in the area from about 1908 too 1913.

Looking for information re William GALLACHER who, while living at 10 Burn Street in Bonhill in August 1887, married Isabelle WAUGH. We know he was the son of Daniel and Catherine (MacAulay) Gallacher. He was employed as a printfield hand - I assume at the Turkey Red Dye Works.

Looking for James BROWN who was living at 7 Thimble Street, Renton in January 1916. He was the nephew of Mary BROWN WAUGH who passed away at that time. We suspect his mother may have been Belle BROWN. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Searching on the Scots Origin list for surname SANDS DOW & MCFARLINE from area around Arnvicar, Cardross, Culross & Port of Menteith. Would these locations all be in the same district (for purpose of restricting search engine queries)? Also would the Parish of Largs & Parish of Rho fall into the same district?

Hello my name is Michael MacFarlane and I am new to this list. My MacFarlane Ancestor emigrated to the US in 1848. I have my genealogy traced back 2 generations before this emigration to Perth. The path stops cold here. The reason I feel this has happened is because this is the exact time when many Macfarlanes fled to Perth from Arrochar when the Clan Lands were forfeit. Also because of the time and trade, and names of my known and proven ancestors I have reason to believe that I am related to the Blacksmiths of Arrochar. I have a lead from a grave I found in Ballyhennan near tarbet. My question: Does anyone have any information on the Macfarlanes of Arrochar especiall MacFarlane Blacksmiths of Arrochar/Tarbet? Any help will be appreciated. Le gach deagh dhurachd, Michael MacFarlane, Executive Vice President Clan MacFarlane Society, Inc. http://www.macfarlane.org http://www.celticsoul.com

Call for Stories: Do you have a story, anecdote or article about your heritage for the upcoming book "Chicken Soup for the Celtic Soul"®? We are excited and delighted to be collecting stories for another in this wonderful series by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen. This will be a book of heartwarming, motivational, and inspiring stories in any way related to things past, present and future connected to the Celts or Celtic culture, e.g. Scots, Irish, Welsh, Cornish, Breton, Manx and their descendants throughout the world. Chicken Soup stories are about 1250 words long, this works out to be 3 - 6 published book pages. What a Chicken Soup Story IS It is an inspirational, true story about ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Chicken Soup stories are personal and are filled with vivid images. In some stories, the reader feels that he or she is actually "there" in the scene with the people involved. Chicken Soup stories have heart...but also something extra...that element that makes us all feel more helpful, more connected, more thankful, more passionate, and better about life in general. Chicken Soup stories often end with a "punch"...creating emotion rather than talking about it. The stories should leave the reader with one or more of the following: Goosebumps or butterflies, heartfelt tears, an "aaaaah" feeling, a good belly laugh, or a more exalted reason to feel alive. If your story is one of the 101 chosen, you will be paid US$300.00 If it is used or not you will retain the rights. With over 30 million "Chicken Soup" books in print, this is an excellent opportunity to get worldwide attention to the stories of the celts!

Teaches a lesson by showing us the situation, not telling us what happened and what the lesson is supposed to be. Gives the reader a clear picture of the characters in the story through vivid details. Is believable. Ends with a bang, not a whimper.
