Hello Ross in Sunny New Zealand! Unfortunately, the only way I connect with a JAMES McINTOSH is that he (and an Esther Flanagan)was a witness for my grandparents marriage in Minnesota in 1907. That's really all I know. I am trying to find him, thinking he might give me a lead to my grandmother's ancestry. Wish I could help you more. Good luck in your search!

Our bunch came from Kirkmichael, Perthshire in Scotland way back in the 1700's and beyond. Our "James" came to New Zealand in the mid 1800's leaving behind 7 brothers and sisters in the Perthshire area, who have disappeared off the "Face of the Earth". We are very keen to find these other Family members. Can you identify any one of your McIntosh's who came from Perthshire in Scotland? Good luck, Ross McIntosh In sunny New Zealand. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to MCINTOSH-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message No virus found in this incoming message.
