Hi As a newcomer to the list, I have a BIG request. Is there some very, very kind person who lives near Appin and who owns a digital camera ....... and could visit t& take photos of he ruined church & McArthur/McPhee headstones? I am told the church is not far out of the centre of Appin, and it does not have a roof. My McArthur interests are: MCARTHUR Malcolm, farmer SINCLAIR Christina (wife) MCARTHUR John (son born abt1825 Lochgilphead) MCPHEE Margaret (wife of John, born abt1837 Appin - or Port Appin) MCPHEE John (Margaret's father, farmer) LIVINGSTON Mary (Margaret's mother) I have not done much research yet, and would appreciate any pointers (thanks for posting the recent valuable info btw). Cheers all, Jennie (Australia)

I'll call in next time I'm passing Kinlochlaigh Old Churchyard on my way to Oban. However, according to the Cargill/Fairweather (1968) Index there isn't a headstone for any of her lot.

Hi Les - thanks so much for your kind offer. Can you clarify 'Cargill/Fairweather (1968) Index there > isn't a headstone for any of her lot.' - 'her' meaning Margaret McPhee's family? Is the Index on the 'net? Would be so obliged to you for pics/more info. Thanks heaps!

Hi Les - thought I had replied to your kind offer? You wrote: <according to the Cargill/Fairweather (1968) Index there isn't a headstone for any of her lot> Meaning Margaret McPHEE's family? Are there any McARTHURs buried there? Unfortunately the information I had was very sketchy and imprecise. :-( Thank you Les, I appreciate your kindness.

Jennie: I know someone who has hit a McArthur brick wall in 1750, but his came from the Isle of Skye.

My McArthur interests are: Les Horn should be about -- he should know someone !! I would love to be able to but I REALLY need to get Ardchattan finished, and start with the Benderloch one and the Dalvuie site - I got nothing done last autumn and if it pours with rain all next week I will be scuppered again. We only get a few hours off a day for a week in Feb and a week in Oct so we are very limited with "out and about" time The Appin Historical Society have been around a long time They may well have information that can help you MCARTHUR Malcolm, farmer > SINCLAIR Christina (wife) > MCARTHUR John (son born abt1825 Lochgilphead) > MCPHEE Margaret (wife of John, born abt1837 Appin - or Port Appin) > MCPHEE John (Margaret's father, farmer) > LIVINGSTON Mary (Margaret's mother) > > I have not done much research yet, and would appreciate any pointers > (thanks > for posting the recent valuable info btw). Cheers all, Jennie (Australia) Try the Lismore sites and contacts as well -- there are still strong Livingston connections There is a new Heritage centre being built there -- Its one place which REALLY has got its act together about local and social history but its been a long hard slog and all done by the local community. I am looking forward to a visit there in May [anyone wanting to join a expertly guided Lismore visit including the wild botany and the Heritage centre and archaelogical sites let me know -- May 12th 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

Jennie, You will probably get help from someone on the list but if you don't, give RAOGK (Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness) a try for the area you want. You get some brilliantly helpful people on it - and some less so. Cheers, Mary (also in Oz but was a RAOGK photographer when we were in Scotland)
