Hello Ian; I too have found many a response ignored. The bright side is that there are many who do take time to respond and have exchanged information, offered help and given encouragement. Please do not be discouraged. Your elusive "cousin" may be the next person to whom you respond. Kind Regards, Irene Researching: McConnachie in Marnoch and Aberdeen. Jackson in Inverurie and Aberdeen and Abercrombie in Angus.
In my grandmother Helen Forsyth's lineage I have John McConnachie married Jean McWilliam in Keith 1787 and their daughter Margaret McConnachie born Keith 1788 died Keith 1867.Harry Montgomery,Agincourt,Ontario.
