Hi, I am new to this list & am interested in the MUIRHEAD family. I would like to find out the origin of the name. I have been told the MUIRHEADS came from the STEWARTS in the mid 1700's, but I am not sure that this is correct. I would like to know more. I have Hugh MUIRHEAD & his wife Margaret JOHNSTON plus 10 known children in Midlothian. The children were born from 1792 to 1817 in Bathgate, Ratho, Currie & West Calder. The children included: Elisabeth, Margaret, Christian, James, Marion, Helen, Robert Purdie (mine), Barbara, Hugh & Grizzal. I would like to contact others interested in these families. I am also interested in direction in how to further research these families using the internet. Distance prevents me from accessing a research centre, so the internet is my greatest asset. Thank you in anticipation, Donna.
