I am booked to fly into Edinburgh on the 2nd September 2005 with the intention of visiting Rosskeen to visit the birthplace/area of my Great Grandfather Hector Munro 1835 - 1871. Has anyone done a similar pilgrimage who could offer advice that would assist me in the planning? I would be grateful for any ideas. David Moon Pietermaritzburg South Africa.

Hello David and All This last week or two has been quite an extended family reunion for Rosskeen and surrounds with a number of familiar names coming up. Last week I replied to a message for Ross in Rosskeen quoting the 1881 census which referred to a "Hugh Ross".However according to the IGI he is Hugh Munroe Ross. His mother was Jane Fraser and her mother was Isabella Macleman (IGI shows Maclennan but as I have pointed out before, Donald Maclennan advised "This is unfortunate as McLeman and Mclennan are two separate and different clans.It would appear that transcription errors are responsible for this unfortunate error.There are a fair number of McLemans in the Parish of Avoch and even there confusion arises; particularly when a Mcleman marries a Mclennan!!! ". What was the population of Rosskeen in the 1880's? Anyway David possibly you have a family connection just "down the road" in Pinetown.
