Have enjoyed the musings of our itinerant Stephen Davie as he trolls the islands for rellies and repast. Only recently did we discover we are related through his DAVIE line. My maternal GGrandmother, Isabella WILSON married Wm HALCROW in Stromness, 1879. Her mother, Margaret ISBISTER had married James WILSON in 1840, Firth & Stennes. Margaret's mother was Cecilia DAVIE. Cecilia's brother's descendants lead to Stephen DAVIE having made the long swim over to Canada. As I was savouring the sights and delights Stephen relayed on June 27, I remember his exact words ....... "Got lots of news on my Isbister line." Almost choked on a fudge pop ! Well, you see its gotten really hot here and I thought it was a safe treat in that it wouldn't spill on the keyboard. Never thought I'd almost buy the farm [become deceased] from eating a popsicle ! Survived quite heartily, and now must let Stephen return home, have a bit of time to collect his wits, and then I'll begin with the 20 questions. MegG
