Welcome back Nancy! It sounds as though you had a great time. I'm new to the list and looking for ancestors from southern Islay (Galbraith). There doesn"t seem to be much evidence we were there. I did manage to find the baptism of Donald Galbreath at Daill, son of my g-g-grandparents, on http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~steve/islay/opr/. That is the only site I have found that information on. I'm looking forward to your photos Nancy. Connie Galbraith ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nancy A.

We had wonderful weather and I really enjoyed myself there. Visited the Family History Centre, Islay House, the Round Church in Bowmore, Kildalton Crosses, Port Charlotte, Port Askaig, etc. & stayed in Port Ellen. I am making up a page of photos of Islay and will send the URL for it soon. The oldest gravestone I could find was 1790, but didn't find any McLarty's. However there seemed to be a connection there for me. I had always loved the sea, wind, rocks, etc. When I visited Newfoundland I loved it while my friend shivered! Must be because of my Islay ancestors' blood - earliest I have traced was my 4xGreat Grandfather James, Born 1753.
