Surnames: Lunam Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/EgC.2ACE/9963 Message Board Post: We are trying to trace our family roots. We know that Peter Lunam (married to Ann Loten) moved to Shawville, Quebec in 1824. The records show that he was from Thurston, Scotland. We are unable to find any record of the town/village of Thurston (we know that it is not to be confused with Thurso). Can you help? Is it possible that it was merged with another town and the name lost? Any help would be most appreciated.

1st let me say I am not one looking for some royalty just the story of some stone masons Ok my results are in.And they paint a much different picture then the one I thought was there.I was thinking Ireland,Scotland & England. Maybe Germany & Scandanavia. You know something simple. I did have 16 + people with exactly what I had as shown below So the first 12 markers came back and this is what i matched country#entries background # of matches Australia (65) Greek 1 Austria-Hungary(45) - 1 Belarus (99) Ashkenazi (Volozhin) 1 England (3083) - 5 France (228) - 3 Germany (795) - 5 Greece (56) - 1 Lithuania (130) - 2 Lithuania (130) Ashkenazi (Volozhin) 1 Romania (103) - 3 Russia (1193) - 1 Russia (1193) Ashkenazi 1 Russia (1193) Ashkenazi-Levite 1 Scotland (889) - 1 Sweden (86) - 6 Unknown Origin - 11 The Hungarian might be linked to the Marie Therese of the Ausrto-Hungarian Empire and the French could be conected to the Plantagents of French and British Monarchys.All this is still to be proven but the links to the area are there.The reason for so few Scotland & Ireland is simple not many with this name& Variants have tested. The Clendinnins ,Dunnings ,Dennis ,and Dunn's some are close to this, The Clendinnins show some real results. Now yesterday my final 25 came back and it a bit clearer but not so obvious I had no matches and what it shows is this. With people who have 3 Step Mutations they fall like this Country (#Entries) Comment Your Matches British Isles (77) - 1 Germany (418) - 3 Unknown Origin - 2 Maybe the real base of the name is Dennig. So it narrows the closer relations to Britian and Germany. This can be explain any number of ways Anglo Saxons the easiest. But this is still an incomplete picture until we get more results. So we need you and your males to find the answers. Oh! one more thing,I have a EB Hallogroup which is slightly different from the norm in Britian. and my twelve markers does seem to have a Jewish root. This can be explained in migrations west from the Russian steps or by Berbers coming thru Spain. The more people we test the better the picture If you have questions they will be answered on this page <A HREF="http://www.familytreedna.com/default.asp"> http://www.familytreedna.com/default.asp</A> you can join on this page <A HREF="http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.asp?code=J41023&special=True">http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.asp?code=J41023&special=True</A> the projects web page <A HREF="http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Denning&variants">http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Denning&variants</A> -------------------------- Chelsea,Ma.-Woburn,Ma.-denning-dennen-danin-dinan-dinihey-denningston-dinning- carlon-carroll-dever-cogan-malone-heslin-piscopo-mazzola-martini-farrell-mchug h-farley-grimes-lynch-doherty-SanDanto,Ita-Adargh,longford-Revere,Ma-Wintrop,M a.-sprague- and ever growing list Jim Denning

Hi Kelly I've got a couple of things to check with you if possible. Firstly, you have Peter Grant b Feb 1860 & John Grant b June 1860. Is this a typo error or could one of these wrong? Secondly, you have two dates with Alexander Grant - b July 1863(May 1862). What does this mean?

I have traced the family back to Tomas Willumsen Smith who died at Store Regedal, Soggendals, Rogaland, Norway sometime after 1674. He was born in 1601, but I don't know where. Can anyone provide additional information that will either help prove or disprove this tradition?

Looking for Farquhar McLeay who married Ann Campbell (Ann born Blarnabie, Ross,) married Urray, Ross, 1820. Farquhar believed to have died about 1838 . Also children Alexander and Farquhar born in the 1820s in Urray and MAY have died in America or Canada in the 1860s Also John McLeay also born Urray but not in Inverness in the 1841 census when mother Ann is there as a widow.
