    3. A relative of mine and I have been searching for particular Kennedy and McColl families that lived on Jura in 1841. We were able to use the IGI to find one more generation back for the Kennedy's. The McColl's, however, seem to be a little more difficult. Marion McColl was working (farm laborer) in 1841 (age 15). She is not listed with anyone we can identify as relatives. Family lore says her parents were John McColl and Mary McDuffie. I can not find these in the IGI. We did find a Marion McColl of the right age, daughter of John McColl, in the IGI. My relative said she was told some more family lore that said Flory and Arch McColl were relatives. Their mother was a Buie and father was John McColl. In 1841, Flory and Arch were in the Buie household with their mother. Their mother was listed as a Buie. After searching the IGI, I have found no other clues to a connection. My relative has been using other sources of records for Scotland, but has found no more new information. I would appreciate any opinions anyone may have on how Flory and Arch are related to Marion, where Marion's family might be, and what additional records to search to look for facts. Melanie
