    1. A Hebrides lass in Glasgow 1860
    2. Linda Hepburn
    3. Hello Listers, It's a long time since I posted, so I'll try again. My ggrandfather was born to a Hebrides lass in Glasgow in 1860 and adopted. He was a cousin (or uncle) to two brothers who died when the 'Iolaire' sank. We have searched and found that the name would be McDonald, McIver, McKenzie, McLeod, MacAulay, Smith or Munro. We are still trying to find his birthname; can anyone help? Does anyone know of a woman of any of these names born around 1830 or 1840 from Barvas, Uig or Stornoway who may have had an illegitimate child in Glasgow in 1860? Slim chance I know, as those names probably cover half the population of the Hebrides. Thankyou, Linda Hepburn Australia Ps Lachie Munro thankyou so much for the wonderful music which arrived today. _________________________________________________________________ Buy want you really want - sell what you don't on eBay: http://adfarm.mediaplex.com/ad/ck/705-10129-5668-323?ID=2

    1. Invergordon on Wikipedia
    2. Peter Reynolds
    3. There's much talk of Invergordon on here, and I wondered whether there was anyone willing/able to write an article on Wikipedia. There's one on the Invergordon Mutiny http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invergordon_Mutiny and one on Invergordon Football Club http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invergordon_F.C. But Invergordon itself is still awaiting its article (at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invergordon ) This is how you contribute to Wikipedia. Beware, it can be addictive! 1) It's best if you register, otherwise your contributions will just appear under your IP address (the part of the internet where you are located), which may not be unique to you . You should choose the degree of anonynimity that suits you best, e.g some people would call themselves "PeterReynolds" and do a wee autobiography on their "about" page, whereas others will call themselves "Sasunnach" and say nothing about themselves! On the other hand people can look and see what you have contributed to what articles and that will give them a picture of your interests. 2) Once registered, log in, click "Edit this Page", and start adding stuff. As you go on you will discover Wikipedia conventions, but you don't need to know anything much to get started! See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Introduction http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_bold Kind regards Peter Reynolds www.peterreynoldsbooks.co.uk

    1. Logan's from Black Isle
    2. Richard & Leonie Logan
    3. Hi all I am researching Logan's from Sutherland and it appears there is a link to Drumderfit in the Black Isle. When some of my cousins were visiting the Black Isle they did meet a relative who showed them a Family Bible. This apparently contained a definite link to our Logans in Sutherland. Is anyone researching the Black Isle Logans by any chance, if there is someone I would like to hear from you.
