Hi Moira The names are common for the whole West Coast At certain times in the 1800's there were projects which resulted in people from the West Coast boarding ships for places like Canada and Australia. They might be cousins. A couple may be related. But they could very easily all be completely unrelated. All you can do is work with the family you think is mostly like to be correct -- or, like many of us have to, work all three families until, if you are really lucky, you find something that gives you the confidence that its yours. Good luck and happy hunting. regards Jill Bowis www.benderloch.org.uk/forum - Ardchattan history, geology, ecology, genealogy, weather, webcam, local forum www.kintaline.co.uk - where we are, what we do: Kintaline Plant and Poultry Centre
