Hi I read your message and noted that your interests in the CARSWELL'S and of the McKNIGHT'S I also am researching the Carswell's from Scotland and the McKnight's. We may have some connections If you would let me know some of the Carswell's in you data base I will check to see if we are from the same branch. Ours start from Thomas Carswell and wife Janet Sloane In the McKnight I have a huge data base of the McKnights once they arrived in Canada in 1816 but still working on the British branch, our McKnight's came from SW Scotland . They could have started out from Ireland Our McKnight's are Samuel McKnight and wife Elizabeth Halliday Please let me know your earliest Carswell and McKnight family Regards Janet Burnie-McKnight Researching: Burnie, Carswell, Dobie, Forrest, Halliday, Hyslop, McKnight, in S/W Scotland and the England's and Senior's of England
