John, I think you'll find it's Inverness. Regards, Dave (NZ). From: symonds3 Sent: Tue 6/04/2010 15:10 To: KENT-ENG@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [KENT-ENG] Jemernep, Scotland? Hi John, You could try searching the website - Scotland's People - and, if no luck, try contacting them direct to ask if they can help - http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/content/help/index.aspx?r=551 I couldn't find anything at Scottish Archives for the placename, so its probably a transcription error. The IGI has baptisms for Colin McKENZIE in 1817 at Barvas, Stornaway, Polmont and Kilmorack. 1818 has the name in Barony, Nairn, Knockbain and Urray. Perhaps a bit of local knowledge from the mailing list for Scotland might be a good place to start - http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/SCT/SCOTLAND.html Cheers Trish Nowra NSW > Good day, > I am fairly new at this, and was lucky enough to recently find who I > believe to be my G-G-Grandfather, Colin McKenzie, born 1817 in Jemernep, > Scotland. > John McKenzie (Panagos) > Email: info@oldeworld.com > Interests: McKenzie, Rowley in the UK and USA
