http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bwickham/scotpar.htm According to the site above Dalavich {no second a} is a Parish of Argyll. I found many mores matches through Google with this alternate spelling. Hope this Helps! tamiz ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Macneill To: SCT-CAITHNESS-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, February 17, 2003 7:22 PM Subject: What, who or where is Dalvaich? Entry 185 in the Monumental Inscriptions for Latheron states "Alex Keith, Dalvaich..". Anyone know what Dalvaich means? I've entered it into Internet search engines and got no hits whatsoever. I'm guessing that it's the name of a house or location somewhere in the Parish of Latheron. Regards, Chris Macneill
