Jim I'm late at catching up on reading most of November's lists and saw your message. Just a quick note to mention that I have previously done a wee bit of research on a Grant/Myron family from around the Dufftown area, who (or perhaps some of whose children - I can't quite recollect clearly) emigrated to the south of the South Island of New Zealand. Several members of that family were members of the Clan Grant Society of NZ when I was the research officer 15 or so years ago. Perhaps you are already in touch with (or perhaps descended from?) that branch, but if you want further details, I can endeavour to brush away the cobwebs!!!
