I'm on my way to the post office now to get a money order on its way. I think one of my gr-grandmother's brothers may have ended up in your area. Her name was Flora McDougall Hannah, born and raised on Tiree. Her parents were Duncan McDougall (from Mull) and Catherine McDonald -- Balinoe. (I'm a third cousin of Keith McDonald Dash.) She left Tiree and lived about 20 years in the Glasgow and Edinburgh areas before coming to the USA, arriving in NYC on May 1, 1867, with 3 children in tow. Her husband had come in 1866, via Nova Scotia, working his way south in search of employment to earn money to bring his family across the ocean. I think Flora must have about 300 descendants here in the States. At our family gatherings when I was a child there were about 100 people in attendance. I have 30 first cousins; Flora's other two children had families also. By now we have three more generations wandering the countr! yside. Since I have 5 children, 12 grandchildren and 6 gr-grandchildren, I figure 300 is a conservative estimate. Aren't you glad we aren't all descending upon you!! I'll look forward to receiving the book. Thanks again! Genie --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
