How do I contact the adminstrator of this list

lol, I thought someone had made a mistake and sent an empty email to the list...you will note that every email to yourself has the same signature. It was simply a mistake and nothing to be read into it, I'm sure. Jeni >>> I have also had a similar message, as you can see from the bottom item - I wondered what might be going on. Is there a bug somewhere? <<< The signature in every email I receive from the list...same as others received except with their address instead of mine. >>> To unsubscribe [email protected] from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message <<<

Jean I had the same message, replied as you did and after seeing other responses had a look at other list messages. They say if you wish to unsubscribe & then give the link. They do not however have our personal email addresses attached to this message. So I suspect that it may be as others have suggested and is there as a tool to those who may not know how.

I would suspect that it's a new Rootsweb format for all of the mailing lists. So many subscribe, forgot how they got there & no longer desire to be on a particular list. This surely makes it easier for any person to unsubscribe. Joy/MO who hasn't read here weekly Rootsweb update to know this is factual.

Robert Cuthbertson married Anna Breckonridge (various spellings) on 30 Nov. 1686 in Campbelltown. These records are from an article in the National Genealogical Society Quarterly, Vol. 23, September 1935. This Robert MIGHT have been born 1663, a son of James Cuthbertson and Agnes Templeton. Other Cuthbertsons or Culbertsons married into the Breckenridge family, settled in County Antrim, Ireland, and William Culbertson was in the Battle of Londonderry in 1690, and sons came to the USA and married Breckenridges. My ancestor, James Breckenridge (married a Culbertson) may be the brother of Alexander Breckenridge, ancestor of US vice-president John Breckenridge at the time of Abraham Lincoln. Thus, I am trying to trace the Breckenridge ancestry (all spellings of the surname). I have 3 descents from the Culbertson family and each married a Breckenridge and lived in the 1700s in the Franklin/Cumberland County, Pennsylvania area. Dr. Richard D.

Hi Lesley Some more thoughts on anglicized gaelic names. I've come across a reference to a woman born late 19th C in Skye whose gaelic name was Mor (with acute accent on the "o") she anglicized this to Marion. On those extrordinary surnames, I googled "Lamont" and came up with "MacLaomainn" apparently old Norse for lawman or lawyer. There is definitely a similarity. So I think you're on the right track thinking there is a Lamont connection. I suspected that the phonetic spelling reflected an occupation from the inclusion of the letter "I" after the Mc, this replaces the gaelic definite article (the) which is used in gaelic surnames referring to an occupation rather than a given name. In fact, in gaelic, it should be written Mac a Laomainn. But note that for a woman it would be Nic a Laomainn (Nic = daughter of) so a further clue when using search engines for females, if no success with M(a)c, try Nic or Nc.

I'm searching for any descendants of my great,great uncle Alexander McCallum and his wife Ann Campbell from Campbeltown. children were, Neil 1861, Flora 1865, Ann 1867, Francis 1873, William 1876, Alexander 1880 and Hector 1864. In 1881 they were living in North Shore Street Campbeltown, Hector aged 17 was a cabinet maker and Neil 19 a joiner. Can anyone please help? Regards Gordon McCallum

Lesley During the late 18th century many Gaelic surnames were Anglicised. McIlcomne or McIlchombie became Lamont. Nowadays the Gaelic form of Lamont is MacLaomuinn. "Mòr" is the English for Marion or Sarah. Mòr (female form mhòr) means 'big'. Alasdair Mòr is big Alexander. Màiri mhòr is big Mary. Hope this helps Sìne

Sheila A brother sharing both parents (i.e., the usual situation). This answer roughly coincides with John's. I believe that brothers sharing only a mother were referred to as "uterine", and brothers sharing only a father as "agnate" or "consanguine".

Thanks kindly for the replys It is difficult enough trying to follow between natural children and lawful children who belongs to who :-) Not to mention the use of the same first names over and over . brothers german = full brothers This information will also definately help Cheers Sheila ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 27, 2006 3:17 PM Subject: Re: [ARGYLL] brother - german > Hi > > I have come across "cousins german".

Hi I have come across "cousins german". My web search suggested that "german" in this contect means "full" as oposed to "half" or "step". Therefore, in your case, "brother-german" means "full- brother". Apparently it comes from the same root as "germane" I hope this helps. Regards John S

Hi List I was wondering if someone could tell me the meaning of the above phrase "brother - german" . I have come across it quiet often in my search of everything Argyll/kintyre/ largie = STEWART Thank you Sheila Stewart - Lafleur
