Surnames: Cruickshank Mackintosh Roey Harvie - Knockando, Advie, Cromdale, Edinkillie Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/BgC.2ACI/1264.1 Message Board Post: Alice Belado, Alice, I have a Margaret Cruickshank born 21 Nov 1776 at Cromdale & Inverallen & Advie, Morayshire, Scotland, d/o John Cruickshank and Isabel Roey, however one of her syblings (Anne - my lineage) was known by my family as being born in Knockando - actually ALL of the children could very well have been born there, but my expectation is that Anne was providing a "nearst big town" for her records! There is along the River Strathspey a parallel row of villages from Knockando to Cromdale - about 30 miles. Advie is halfway, as for Inverallen I have no idea exactly where along this road it lay - but I have other ancestors (Mackintosh) at all three places and also at the "traditional family homes" of Edinkillie and Aachindoir - where Anne was married to William Mackintosh on 7 Aug 1797. Geologically these people are all in the same small area. The ancestry of Margaret and her nine syblings is still being resolved - their grandfather James could in fact (at this time) be possibly any one of five brothers as they all have lineages descending to Margaret and Anne's Daddy! I can resolve this in time - about 2 or 3 months to retrieve info in my files. I can send you a Family Group sheet if you will privately provide your email or fax address.
