Also found a sister to David born in 1870. You would probably need to go to the GRO/Scots Origins for the marriage of David to Jessie as the IGI records end in approx. 1875.

Good Morning All As a new lister I would like to see if anyone can help me with my current dead end... John ARBUCKLE born circa 1820, don't know where, suspect Scotland....... emigrated to Australia as a young man and married a Margaret SIM(S) in Port Sorrell, Tasmania circa 1844. Children of the couple were: 1 Elizabeth Hyde ARBUCKLE born circa 01.02.1843 in Launceston Tasmania 2 Jessie ARBUCKLE born 24.10.1844 in Port Sorrell, Tasmania 3 John Murdock ARBUCKLE born 16.04.1846 in Port Sorrell, Tasmania 4 Ellen Bruton ARBUCKLE born during 1852 in Launceston, Tasmania Does anyone recognise these names.

Hello Listers, My family has been told the surname PETTEE is a form of PETTER which would be French. We have also been told that PETTEE is an Irish surname as well as a Scottish surname. Can anyone hear shed any light on this surname being Scottish? If it is, does anyone know which part of Scotland it would have originated in? Thanks, Jack Pettee NMRA Trustee, Midwest Region Researching Surnames: PETTEE, WRISLEY, MORTON, BEATTY, SINNOTT Vist the family: http://www.theramp.net/railroad/family/index.htm

Has anyone heard of the name McCANACH, Scottish I believe. I can't find anything on it other than the name is part of my family. Could there be another spelling? Thanks for any help. Judy

This is a small clip from the ~"MacKintosh Families of GlenShee and GlenIsla"by Alexander MacKintosh MacKintosh,The Heritage Nairn, Sept. 1916. p.1. The name Mackintosh is usually associated with the leading tribe of the Clan Chattan, which in the main is an Inverness-shire clan; but no doubt there have been and are many bearing the name without any connection either with Inverness-shire or with Clan Chattan. The word "toiseach" equivalent to the charter words " thane," "chamberlain," "seneschal," though primarily meaning a chief or leader, at an early period became attached to the person holding the position of steward or representative of the king or other high authority in a Gaelic-speaking district, probably because such person, in addition to being the collector of rents and the general administrator of the lands under his charge, would be responsible for mobilising and leading the men living on the lands in the event of their being called upon to fight. Thus wherever a toiseach or thane ruled there was always the possibility of his founding a family with the designation of Mac-an-toisich or Mackintosh, and having regard to the number of thanages known to have existed in early times it is somewhat surprising that such families are not more numerous than they are. Cosmo Innes, in his Scotch Legal Antiquities (pp. 80-3), gives two instances of families, in Glentilt and Lochaber respectively, who took their surnames from the office, but neither of whom, as he correctly says, had any connection with the Mackintoshes of Clan Chattan. Skene, in Celtic Scotland (iii. 358), mentions. -J.McComb-S.California-Researching Clan MacKintosh and Clan Chattan-

Hi, Doug, I have done a search for Scotstown on the Ordnance Survey Map website, and the only Scotstown that comes up is a small hamlet about 3 miles north of Strontian which is itself located on the north shore of Loch Sunart, in the north west of Scotland. The Ordinance Survey is the official UK Gov. mapping service, and if it does not show up on that it probably means that there is no other present day Scotstown in Scotland. That does not rule out the possibility that there might have been another one at some time in the past. Maybe another lister can shed some more light on the subject. Here is the link to the Ordinance Survey website. http://www.ordsvy.gov.uk/. Hope this helps. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Hi List I am new to this list ! Does anyone know how I would get transcriptions of a place called Kirtomay/Kirktome, Farr, Sutherlandshire...... I am looking for my MCDONALD family from there, so far what I have is John MCDONALD b unknown wife Margaret children so far listed are Mary born 1806 Grace born 1810 William born 1816 Jane born July 12 1817 There could be and probably is more children but I have not yet found them. does anyone have any suggestions as to where I go from here I cannot find this place called Kirtomay/Kirtome at all Cathy Greetings from Northern Scotland. Kirtomay/Kirtome is in fact KIRTOMY which is east of FARR both of which are probably close to being the most northernly and remote places on the Scottish mainland. On map look left of STRATHY POINT.

Hi There is noted on a certificate that a George HARPER was born at Scotstown, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. and indicates a date of 1839. I cannot find a Scotstown in Aberdeenshire, it seems to be in Highlands. His parents were James HARPER and Elizabeth Cruickshank >From the IGI on internet it appears he may have been born in Insch, Aberdeenshire in 1830 Does anyone know if there is or was a Scotstown in Aberdeenshire ?

Hello All I have had several people tell me that the Hidden Families article by, Stuart Mitchell came out all funny with "wierd objects". I dont know why it did that, only a few came out that way. It came originaly as a Word 6 doc. and I converted it to a txt. doc, to insert it into the email. This might have something to do with it, it did lose alot of great farmatting in the conversion. Anyone who would like the original Word 6.doc, I will be happy to send it off. It's "one" of the most intersting articles in my whole genealogical adventure so far. Im sure Stuart would want you all to have it the way it was originaly intended. By the way, he had this article published a few years back in the Journal of Abeerdeen & N.E.Scotland Family History Library Society. (in fact an interim research report on the OPR (Invera'an) and RC registers of Glenlivet by him is there as well. If anyone can get this on disc, please send it my way. I was in contact with Stuart about a month ago when I was given permission to post this article, I was shocked to hear he had passed 1 day before I ended up sending. Something said to post that article, and thats what I did. Anyone who would like the original please let me know, just give me about a week to do it all once. I have never been to Scotland but I hope this helps. Hopefully I'll make it out some day, Im ony 28 Ive got some time left. -J.McComb-S.California-Researching Clan MacKintosh and Clan Chattan-
