Hello again, This is the second of my two posts for the day. I thought I would give a Hogmanay mention to my Perthshire names. My MORRISON family were in Comrie until my great-great-grandfather Duncan Morrison (born 1785) moved to Glasgow and later to Campsie. His parents were Donald or Daniel Morrison and Elizabeth McKenzie and I have possibly grandparents Donald Morrison and Mary Ferguson of Comrie. If these are the correct people then Donald or Daniel was born in 1748. However, it is proving extremely difficult to go back any further with certainty. The only lead is via the Morrison DNA project, which has linked my family to that of James Morrison of Comrie, who emigrated to America just in time to fight in the revolutionary war in 1776. There are a few possibilities for a link but nothing definite. We are not related to any other Morrisons anywhere so far according to the DNA project. My YOUNG family were farmers in and around Meigle. My great-grandfather John Young farmed at Balmyle (just outside Meigle) in the late 19th century and my grandmother (one of the Jessies!) was born there. During the 19th century the family moved quite often so crossed the border into Angus at times, and my great-great-grandfather James Young farmed in Fife for a while too. Other connected names are Ogilvy and Hunter. Any new ideas welcome! Happy New Year everyone. best wishes, Sheila Perry
