Does anyone else have >Scottish Irvins? > There's a genealogy for the IRVINE family who came to America in 1729 from Ireland, going back to Scotland in the 1200s or so. They moved from Scotland to Ireland in the late 1500s, if I remember correctly. I don't know how good the documentation is for the earlier Scottish ancestors. My personal page on this family is at http://www.duke.edu/web/chlamy/irvine.html but it starts with the immigrant John Irvine and wife Mary BOYD, and doesn't include the earlier information.
