Maureen, One person on this list who might know is Iain Rogers who lives in Hong Kong, but he is away on holiday in Scotland at the moment. His family are from Elgoll and Torrin and he knows a great deal about some of the families, including some of the McKinnons. I'm not sure when he gets back, but he'll find your msg and this reply in his "inbox" when he does! Meanwhile, someone at the local historical soc. may be able top help:- http://www.isleofskye.net/strath/eths/ This is a general URL with a bit about the area: http://www.ealaghol.demon.co.uk/ Regards, R McInnes Sth Aust ----- Original Message ----- From: "Maureen Forbes" <maureenmacgregor@totalise.co.uk> To: <SCT-INVERNESS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 19, 2000 1:52 PM Subject: [SCT-INV-L] Birth Cert for John McKinnon > I recently purchased this birth certificate from Scots Origins but it is not > who I was looking for so if it rings any bells with anyone I will pass it on. > > John MacKinnon, illigitimate, 04.07.1875, Torrin in Strath to Charles > MacKinnon, crofter and Flora Nicolson, domestic servant. > > The john MacKinnon that I am trying to trace was a widower with three children > when he married Katag Robertson who had a daughter Katag (married a McIntosh) > around 1900.
