Hi, Barbara, I wonder if your Mackenzies are related to mine? I have Kenneth MACKENZIE (1), m. Elizabeth MCGREGOR (no dates/places) Roderick MACKENZIE (2) b. ?1810,m. 1848 (parish of Kilmuir Easter) Mary ROSS d. 1865, Capplich, Rosskeen Alexander MACKENZIE (3) b.?1853, Alness, m. 1881,Saltburn, Elizabeth/Betsy MCCULLOCH, d. 1930 and so on down to me, generation 6. Just to confuse matters, Eliz/Betsy McCulloch's parents were Thomas MCCULLOCH and Isabella/Bella MACKENZIE, she b. 1817/18 at Alness. I have no further information going back on either of these branches. I haven't found anything on the IGI, Scots Origins or even at New Register House itself. I think maybe my lot were Free Church of Scotland. I think I will have to visit the area some time to get any further back!! I hope we can make a connection. Regards Norma Milne (nee Mackenzie) Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England
