Jenny,   Ayr?  The most recent batch of my newfound cousins came from the Loch Doone area of Ayrshire.  We've just started researching this branch which is closely connected to mine, indeed it appears that my gggrandfather or his father or an uncle may have come over to Upper Canada with some of them.   Cliff.

Cliff – you mentioned a few years back the DNA grouping of the surname KEITH, my own maiden name, how I would love to find where my lot arrived from into Edinburgh.....fancy trying to tie that in with female SMITH.....then from a death registration I have a Mary JOHNSTON wife of Thomas CARNIE, they “presumably” from Ayr/Wig. For Irene and the McLEOD / MacLEOD researchers - Would any of our senior Glaswegian listers remember being taught by a Jock MacLeod? Great to see the list with activity!
