Hello Ron, Funny thing - turns out my grandfather actually knew Alexander FLETCHER, his son Neil and 2 other sons Calum and Alex! Both my parents knew Calum. We are somehow related, but not sure how - my grandfather's name was Alex FLETCHER too. I can tell you more later, but around 1913 my grandfather, then aged 23, was employed at a farm called Cononish near Tyndrum. Your FLETCHERs were living in the house at Cononish and employed there too. Oddly enough, years later in the mid 1930s, my grandfather was again employed at Cononish and my Dad has many happy memories of that place. I had the pleasure of visiting Cononish and talking with it's present owner this past September. I have pictures of the house your FLETCHERs (and later mine) lived in. Mary Fletcher Harris Canada

Hello all I am so envious of those of you who will be able to "go home" this year. It is simply not possible, for a variety of reasons, for me to make that trip so I hope there is going to be plenty on the web about all the "goings on". I guess it's one of the penalties one pays for going to live on the other side of the world!!! I keep up with all your emails although I'm not using the computer a great deal these days. Maybe getting some new spectacles will help! :>) I will certainly be there in spirit - in more ways than one!! - and hope to keep up with everything. Have a great "Homecoming" year. Best wishes to all, especially to all those I have corresponded with in the past, Jill, Katie, Len et al.

Hi all May I extend my own, and my family's, sympathies to our Aussie cousins over the chaos and, in particular, the deaths caused by the fires in Victoria, Australia. A daughter of friends of ours is staying with reli's over in Melbourne at the moment and, of course, her Mum and Dad are worried to death about the apparantly random nature of the fires. The Firefighters, Volunteers and Troops need greatful thanks for the stirling work they're doing at no small risk to themselves - we saw the fire tender which was 'flashed' by the fire.on our news tonight.

Booking as we speak, Jill... We didn't make it to Scotland last year, but we hope to do so early this summer and in our over-ambitious itinerary around the family haunts, I'm seriously trying to fit in a visit to Kintaline, the farm shop at least and maybe even the Farmer's Market, not just for some eggs and lamb etc, but indeed hoping to say hi and put a face to an @ sign, on our way to or from Lochgilphead where I have a similar mission to your own. Look forward to seeing the pictures. Thanks for the tips. We'll be trailing a caravan but may want to spend a night or two B & B on Islay or Colonsay, so your advice is worth remembering. Just having trouble trying to fit the whole of Scotland in and relax as well. :-) Will keep you posted offlist. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the Argyll history course; makes us envious. One of my distant cousins gives lectures on Argyll's past and then and it's a pity we can't be in on them in person. And if only BBC Alba could be made available, here or online... Oh well.

Hi Folks We have just had a few days to ourselves here, which means he gets to do railway stuff, I get to do Parish archive work, and we go for walks and places locally together (the rest of the year one of us has to be here at all times, we are open 7 days a week, and its only ourselves.) We finally managed to get down to the Argyll and Bute Archives in Lochgilphead, and got to see the difficult situation our "archivists" are working under. We got some interesting transcribing done in the short time. and got to a couple of local places with the camera. I also got to sorting out some of the pile of filing of papers and records so that the Archive here at Kintaline makes a bit more sense, and means that when I can snatch a moment to print more out from the harvest I have on this computer, then it has a place to go. It will also be a lot easier to get it into the forum. I have uploaded the pics up onto the Ardchattan albums http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/ardchattan and have also added more info and records on to the parish project forum. Please have a wander around and I hope you find something interesting. The History of Argyll course is GREAT -- its full on, lots of information flying around, he knows his stuff alright. I really hope that there will be lots of you coming over here for Homecoming -- the pound is cheap, but book early as it seems that local bookings for accommodation are 30% up already. We hope you will drop in and see us when you are in Argyll, the kettle is always on, email is the best way to contact us, and if you have an Ardchattan interest then PLEASE let me know in advance, then I can make sure I get cover so we can concentrate. ;) regards Jill Bowis www.lorn.org.uk Local Origins Rural Network - Local Producers Market & Business/Community Network www.kintaline.co.uk - where we are, what we do: Kintaline Plant and Poultry Centre www.benderloch.org.uk/forum - Ardchattan history, geology, ecology, genealogy, weather, webcam, local forum

Ron, the International Genealogical Index at http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp has a birth record for Winifred Collins, dau of James Collins & Ann Foley b. 02 JUL 1872 Hutchesontown, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland While Glasgow may not be in the same area as Kintyre, I think there were steamers from Tarbert to Glasgow weekly in the late 1800s.

To complete the set of grid references Kilintine is Killundine on modern maps and is to be found at NM 586 494 Could I also make a general plea that people do not publish lists like this without any indication of the source of the list and where it is to be found. There are two good reasons for this. The first is when one is dealing with a document of this kind which is in the public domain, it is perfectly possible to look at the document itself and even get a copy of it, if one has a reference. The second reason is that if the information is available in? a secondary source i.e. published by someone else one should immediately be aware of this as it is possible that inaccuracies have crept in. Transcripts in published books are not always accurate and wherever possible should be checked against an original.? -----Original Message----- From: sct-argyll-request@rootsweb.com To: sct-argyll@rootsweb.com Sent: Fri, 6 Feb 2009 8:01 Subject: SCT-ARGYLL Digest, Vol 4, Issue 22 Today's Topics: 1.
