Hi Listers: I hope one of you can help me. In the Register of Edinburgh Apprentices I found the following entry: "Broun, Andrew, son to Andrew B., in Carmeban, with James Broune, chirurgian 20 June 1632" Andrew Broun, chirurgean, born 1605 in Edinburgh and son of James Broun, chirurgean was my ninth great grandfather. The 1632 date is too late for my Andrew to be starting an apprenticeship (I think he became a burgess in 1625, although that date seems early.), but the master is perhaps my tenth great grandfather, James Broun chirurgean. Knowing where Carmeban is might help me resolve this, but I can't find Carmeban in any of my references or by an Internet search. Can anyone help? Richard Robertson
