Dear Brenda Jones: As you may have noticed, Sheila Hale, who is chief librarian at a genealogical library in Fort McMurray in Alberta, Canada, picked up the message about your Dumfries ancestors that you sent to the Dumfries and Galloway list and she passed it on to the Marjoribanks Forward. The data I have on your family line was provided by yourself and Bill Marchbank of Gainesville FLA. I believe you have been in touch with Bill. Has he given you everything he has? We can trace your line back to John Marchbank, born about 1784 and died in 1833 at Morton, and his wife Agnes Hairstones. But so far we haven't been able to find anything about their parents. I will keep watching, of course, for something to turn up. Best regards, Bob Marjoribanks
