Greetings All, I am new to this mailing list and live in far away New Zealand. My Interest is finding as much as possible about my BELL line which as far as I can go, originated in Monimail, Fife, Scotland. Should anyone be able to help me further it would be truly appreciated. Information held includes: John BELL, b. c1682 in Monimail, a Tennant Farmer of the Earl of Levin in Leone, in Monimail, near Levin Fife. Spouse not known. He had at least 3 children: Katherine b. 12 November 1702 in Monimail Mathew b. 16 April 1704 in Monimail Andrew, b. in 1705. This person is of my ancestral line and subsequently moved to Airdrie, Lanarkshire. From there, some members of his line moved to Canada, while my branch remained in Airdrie, then Edinburgh, but finally migrated to New Zealand. I am happy to exchange any information that I have, and to help with reasonable New Zealand searches, for those in other parts of the world, looking for any BELLs or their descendants in this country.
