Hello Listers, Please does anyone know the translation of Garbhacha or Garbh acha? My Gigha ancestors lived there and later at Keills, Keils or Kills. I've just received an old map but can't find either of them. There is Eilean Garbh in the north - an almost-island - but no 'acha' attached to it. Grateful for any help Mary in Western Australia

Thank you to all the people, that responded to my question concerning the meaning of "Ian Mor". All the answers have been much appreciated. Thanks again, Amy Robison

Amy, "Ian Mor" means Big John. And where is your Mary McPhail from? When did she mary Roderick McDonald?

Hi, Amy, Ian is the Gaelic form of the name John. Mor is the Gaelic word for big. In small communities these nicknames are used to distinguish people with the same names. Other common adjectives include beg(little), ruadh(red, usually referring to hair color), dubh(black), Ban (white or fair) and buidh (yellow. This was heard by English speakers as "boy" hence the many Irish and Highlanders referred to as "boy"e.g. "Sorley Boy" MacDonald. This tradition persists in the mountains of E. Kentucky where for instance there is a man called "Red Sam "Morgan to distinguish him from his cousin, "Black Sam" Morgan. Hope this is helpful. Regards, Nicole May njmay@aol.com

Hello, Does anyone have any information on an Archibald McNicol? He was married to Ann Gall and then Mary McPhail. Ann Gall died in 1899 in Rothesay and I presume is buried there. Archibald died in 1937 in Rothesay also so it is very likely that he is in the same grave or close by Ann Gall's grave. His father was also called Archibald McNicol (I think) married to an Ann Sinclair and they may also be in the same graveyard. If anyone can shed any light on any of these people I would be so grateful. Thanks. Margaret

Hello List, My gggg-grandfather was Roderick McDonald. He married Mary McPhail. My ggg-grandfather was John [Ian Mor] McDonald. He was born Jan. 27, 1814, Scoor, Isle of Mull. He married Margaret McIntyre. Their children were: Hugh, Christina, Rory, Peter, Alexander, Duncan, Mary Ann, and Isabella. Can anyone tell me what "Ian Mor" is? Is this a form of a nickname? Any information, would be appreciated. Thanks, Amy Robison

My ggg-grandfather was Duncan McGillivray, he was born in 1798, in Argyllshire Scotland. He married Ann Mc Phail, she was born 1817, in Argyllshire. They had two sons born in Argyllshire, Donald (1836), and Alexander (1833). They moved to Canada, in 1849. Any information, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Amy Robison Ontario, Canada

Dear CAMPBELL researchers, This is my first letter to this mailing list. For the last seven years we have been trying to find our CAMPBELL ancestors either as emigrants from Scotland or, as early (1740-1760) settlers of Virginia. We are working from an 1858 family document that states that my paternal gggrandfather, Joseph Campbell ,came to "western Virginia in the early 1700's from Scotland with his brother, William, and parents (names of parents not cited)". Joseph married Elizabeth Douglas in Virginia and they had nine children (the names of which are all known) including my ggrandfather, John S. Campbell ,who was born in Virginia in 1799 (place unknown). Here are the questions for which we are seeking answers: 1.In the event the family came from Argyllshire (speculation only), might there be any records that would include the names of emigrating children? If so, the search could be narrowed down to those parents having children named Joseph and William? (There could have been other children in this family) 2.If the family emigrated from Argyll County, or that part of Scotland in the middle 1700's, what port(s) might have been used for the trip to America? After a search lasting several years, we are hoping that someone living in Scotland can help us. My wife and I are in our 80's with 60 years of marriage. We would like to find the ancestral Campbell home for our five children and seven grandchildren. Thank you for any possible suggestions you may be able to provide. We will gladly snail mail or FAX Joseph Campbell's family chart to anyone requesting it. Alan Campbell ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Will some kind soul help me get pictures of my ancestor's gravestone? I will be glad to pay the photographer a reasonable fee, but I need the name and address of a photographer (in Campbell, I guess) to contact. The tombstone is one described in "Kintyre in the 17th Century" by Andrew McKerral, p. 75. The stone also covers Alexander Dunlop, who was also a relative. If there are any descendants of this John MAXWELL, and any DUNLOP, would be very pleased in hearing from them. Kate

Would someone by kind enough to help me with the correct names of a couple of farms where my ancestors lived in the Parish of Kilcalmonell in the 1841 and 1851 census. I am not good at deciphering the old handwriting and may be away off base with my interpretations. My relative was Alexander Taylor and his wife was Margaret Walker. In 1841 in enumeration district 5 from Clachan Water to Rea fluck (?), they were living at Glorchkinalmelin (?). Other farms or properties nearby were Ronachan and Correchrevie. In the 1851 census, they were living at Toberaviat Farm. I am not sure if the T was a T or not. I would really appreciate clarification on those property names. Thank you in advance.

Hi to the List: I am interested in finding out about the above birthplace of Malcolm McIsaac born in 1810 to Dugal and Mary Furguson McIsaac. If any one has this name in their tree? I would be most appreciative of any information about this area. Perhaps there is a good URL to look at. TIA Cheerio! Isobel from Sunny Arizona

I have inherited two albums of photographs my grandfather took during World War I. He was originally with the Bute Mountain Battery when he was commissioned in 1915, however, he and many others from the Bute Battery were transferred into the Argyll Mountain Battery (both of the 4th Highland Mountain Brigade) when they went overseas to the Mediterranean Theater. The history of this unique Scottish unit is fascinating, and I am always looking for more information, however what I would like to do now is produce a list of the names of the men in the photographs in hopes of finding descendants of them. I have found one, so far. I will make a copy of the photo(s) of their descendant and send it to them if they can be shown to be related. Anecdotes and history are always accepted and compiled. Commander Ian Hamilton, RN Retired, who lives on the Isle of Bute, has compiled a history of these units. He currently would like to add the last chapter to the work, which addresses what became of the men after the war. Here are the names I have, all officers or non-commissioned officers: COOPER, CANTLE, HYDE, BROWN, BUCHANAN, SMITH, ARMOUR, GREENLEES, MCLACHLAN, REID, ROBSON, MURRAY, NICHOLSON (N.F.), J. PATERSON, MCNAIR, MUNRO, CAMPBELL, NICHOLSON, SHARP, Sergeant Major SLATERY, THOMPSON, Major MCKINLEY and Major McDOUGALL, (Original Battery Commanders), T.D.WILLIAMS, W. HOGARTH, MCKENZIE, MCALLISTER and MCKINLAY (Sergeants Major) and Mr. Cook, civilian at Harrogate. These are the men named in the photos, there are many unnamed. They cover the units training in England and combat in Salonika, Bulgaria and Greece. I have shared these with a few museums in Scotland (I live in California). There are many on display in the Bute Museum if any "locals" would like to see them. Anybody with information or connections? Mike Morrison

Good afternoon I have just found that my ggmother was a Flora MCKINVEN from Killean and Kilchenzie Argyll Scotland born 24 November 1853. It appears that she left Scotland and next appears on the 1881 census working as a Domestic Servant in Kensington, London. Strangely enough the wife of the dwelling was also from Scotland her name was Julia PYGOTT (haven't got her maiden name at moment). What I was wondering is how I go about getting a birth certificate or marriage certificate for Flora. I know she married a Charles FULLER born 1859 (I suspect that they were married in London - maybe wrongly). Should I apply to Scotland records office or London records office. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I need to verify I have the correct Flora. Her daughter was Eva Marie Flora Alice FULLER born Fulham 1883 and married Samuel Robert PYGALL in 1910. I think Flora's parents were Alexander McKINVEN and Jean STUART. TIA Best regards Hazel <: ) ) ) ) ><

I was wondering if anyone with 'local knowledge' of Lochgoilhead can help me out. I have a GGGrandmother who was married there in 1863. She lists her occupation as House Servant and her usual address as Carrick, Lochgoilhead. Is/was Carrick the name of a property or is it a district within the Parish of Lochgoilhead? Thanks Col Dewar Brisbane Australia.

Carrick is a little 'village' about 3 miles down the west side of Loch Goil and there is an old castle there which gives the village it's name. It is a lovely quaint little place and is very very windy from due to gusts travelling up to it from Loch Long.
