My gracious! Are you in Australia? I am not Bob, but decided to answer anyway. When I was archivist for Clan Johnston in America, I sort of halfway remember a family like this.I have sent all of the Gnealogy of the Clan to a woman named Barbara Hockman in Kansas. I doubt, however, that she will be able to find this for you, but it is worth a try. I have just been watching a TV movie which taught that all kinds of miracles can happen at Christmas time. E-Mail her at : bhockman@everestkc.net She may be more efficient than I was. Do you happen to know Des Johnstone? He is head of Clan J. in Australia.

Thanks Bev for your help, have written to the lady you mentioned, lets hope for a miracle eh??? I have read of Des Johnstone he is a Judge I think in Sydney, I have a piece I cut out of the paper a few years ago and it gave his address etc. It is the Johnstons in Scotland I want to trace as I am sure only my Grandfather came out to Aus. Regards and thanks Desley.
