Greetings to you 2 McIntosh's. If you discover that James McIntosh came from Kirkmichael in Perthshire Scotland, then you had better come back to me. We are aware of our Clan going back to mid 1700's but from 1830 for about 20 years we lost 7 of our family somewhere into the big wide world. Our McIntosh of whom we know all the details, came to New Zealand. Keep digging. Cheers, Ross McIntosh In sunny New Zealand

Ross Were any of the 7 lost McIntosh clan members named Duncan (1777-1877), married to Anne Fraser and emigrated to NA (Upper Canada, now Ontario) in 1832 with 6 children?

Glenn, thanks for the interest. We are looking for the disappearing 7 and would be overjoyed to be able to find any of them, but there are many choices of destination for them. Our "James" came to New Zealand via Australia. The others may have stayed in Australia or the eastern seaboard of Canada or USA. Any ones guess at this time. The dates 1830- 1850 (earlier rather than later) was the time when the persons were leaving, thanks to the help with the travelling costs provided by the Government of the day. There are no ladies with the name you mentioned among the names/dates we have before us. One day we shall get enough time to look further into it. We have been back to Kirkmichael in April 2006 and spent time in the town and on the properties where our many folk lived and worked. They all appeared to be Farm related workers living in cottages(!) provided by the land owners. The photographs of the Gravestones in the churchyard were 90+% McIntosh's. Should be fun sorting those out. They went back before 1800 and were quite hard to read. Keep our name in your mind if you come across any link to the town/village mentioned. Happy to share with you. Cheers, Ross McIntosh
