Hello Listers, Has anyone heard of a book written in 1941 by The Rev.A.E. Robertson called ''Old Tracks;cross country routes and coffin roads in the N.W.Highlands'' Would it include anything about my McLennan and Macrae country---Kintail-Lochalsh-Glenshiel areas. Iam leaving all my Finlayson -Murchison-McKenzie ancestors until later-it just gets too confusing. I would like any comments on the book though if you can help-Where it was published etc., Thanks and regards, Maureen Orewa -New Zealand

A search on "widow's mutch" brought up a reference in "A Retrospective Introduction to the Standard Edition of The Scottish Chiefs" and the following quote: "...venerable ladies...coifed in milk-white mutch...noble widows.."

Was a white mutch a sign of widowhood? Lilian Campbell "Prof.Hassan Osman Abd_Al-Nour" wrote: > > In all photos of my great grandmother she is wearing a mutch- a goffered cap.

In all photos of my great grandmother she is wearing a mutch- a goffered cap. No other women in the pictures do so. What is the origin of this headgear and why would she wear it. I searched Cyndi's list but no luck. tia Shane in Cairo

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with an address. I am looking for the address of CHARLIE MUNRO who is a butcher in a shop on the north side of the street (the main one) in Invergordon...kind of near the library if I remember correctly. If anyone could get me the address of the shop perhaps, I could contact him. Thanks. Susan Connecticut USA

I am wondering if anyone has in their records, a marriage for: Kenneth SUTHERLAND to Christina ROSS circa 1739...Rosshire.... they had 5 children: David bapt. 17 Jan 1747, Angus, Donald, Christina and Janet. Any suggestions are welcome in locating this marriage...have tried Origins, but can't seem to locate it. Theresa Coleman

Does anyone have information on those who were born in Ardmore...parish records for example, or something that would list who lived there during the 1660-late 1700's... Searching for a Sutherland family....any suggestions? Theresa.

Does anybody have Young ancestors in Avoch Parish? My tree goes back to Hector Young.See his descendants in my website at www.btinternet.com/~fraser.hamilton2/hyox.htm Fraser Hamiton,Hectors 5xgt.grandson.

Hello everyone, Is anyone out there researching Grants in the Lochbroom area? I have a Roderick Grant married to Mary Matheson and living on Isle Tanera in Lochbroom from the mid-19th century. Mary Matheson was a sister of my John Matheson of Tanera. She was born about 1830. I would be interested to hear from anyone researching Grants from this area - or if they know who perhaps came in from another area, such as Inverness (Skye) or Assynt.

Have had to change to a new server (Was : [email protected]) so am posting my interests again. I had made some connections with people searching for some of the names I have an interest in, and would like to keep in touch with them. In the Parish of Urquhart and Logie Wester I am looking for Fraser connections - Highfield Park and area. The family burial ground is in Contin so that area is also of interest. My grandfather Hugh Fraser was born in 1864. His father William Fraser was born in Fodderty around 1831 and married Elizabeth/Betsy/betty Matheson, Urray, in 1863. Her parents were Alexander Matheson and Ann Chisholm, Urray who, I think, married in 1832. I have to confirm that. William's father was Hugh, married to Rebecca Gordon sometime in the early 1800's. Am still looking for their marriage. There was one marriage in Midlothian in the possible time frame with these names but I am not convinced that I have the correct couple. William Fraser (born 1895) was my father. His mother was a Jessie Hossack from the Croy area of Inverness-shire. Her father, David Hossack, was born in Cromarty to John Hossack and Catherine Manson in 1834. Jessie Hossack's mother was a Helen Clunas born around 1840, Duirinish.She married David Hossack in 1859 in the District of Croy and Dalcross. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Lilian Campbell

Hi Folks, If it helps, I am a local and we say "cal-ross-ie". I live about 4 miles to the east of the estate and part of Calrossie Woods which I will drive through in about 30 minutes in a site of Special scientific interest (SSSI) because of the birds and wildlife inhabiting it.

Dear Wendy, I'm assured by 'locals' that, despite the spelling with two 'l's (which obviously turns up all over the place), the pronunciation is as in 'roguey', i.e. a long close 'o' rather than a short open 'o'. Can't help with your Grahams, I'm afraid --- I'm after Alexander INNES (schoolmaster) and his forbears, but he could have come from elsewhere to fill his post, I suppose.

Dear Sara I'm interested in your questions about Logie Easter & wish I had some answers too. Have you heard anything? I am tracing the Graham family which seems to have arrived at Logie from Kilmuir-Easter after 1837. Our ancestor, William Graham has the dates of June 1,1838-Nov 27th, 1909 (after living most of his life in Ontario, Canada, he died in Vancouver, BC. The records show: 1841 Census (film # 101924)R&C, Loggie (sic) Easter: Enum District :4 Arabella & Calrossie District "lying between Shandwick and Pitinaduthy (sp?) on the West,, the Arabella Canal on the south ...
