Hello All, I am a bit confused and a little concerned about this suggestion that we all send our BDM Certificates to Michael so he can do a better job of looking at them then the person who has bought them. Over the years - several in fact - anyone who was confused about the entries on certificates have ask for assistance from this site and we have all shared in the results of the answers that come in. I have shared all my research with Ian for his site, I did this assuming that people who used the information were researching the families involved and I could add to my interest in the McGilvrays on the Ross of Mull. I have never had a problem with certificates and I have varied writing etc. some of the very early ones may take time but surely that is half the fun of this research. If there are so many mistakes on Ian's site and I wasn't aware until quite recently that this was suppose to be the case - but that is not necessarily the fault of the site. Everyone who has a problem with suspecting things may not be right can always order there own copy from Scotlandspeople at their own expense. Anyone who wants to check any information I have put on can email me and I can either send them a copy or simply check their enquiry. I would assume that people asking would be personally involved with the family they are asking about.. Jan Peasnell/Melbourne/Oz On Wed, Jul 27, 2011 at 10:22 AM, Linda M.

Janice - I did NOT use the word "better". All I suggested was assisting those persons who did not have the time, or who are not familiar with names/places. It doesn't matter who does the job, but one person transcribing will result in less errors. If the same BDM is transcribed by ten people, at least one result will have an error. It's a human trait. I have seen the results of transcriptions, both of BDM source and Census returns - the latter shockingly. I'm currently re-transcribing the Census returns, and if anyone cares to contribute any official images 1841- 1871, i'm only too happy to accept. Same goes with BDMs. If listers/researchers are happy to accept the current state of affairs, then so be it.

Linda - yes, I volunteered I think it would also be a good idea to have a BDM co-ordinator (or other 'title') I'm more than happy to transcribe everything to the list As Linda says, not everyone has the time, or may struggle with place names/old-style writing. If all listers send me whatever they have in the way of BDMs, the resulting transcriptions can be checked against Ian's entries on Mullgenealogy The list has been very active recently, and I would urge listers 'to keep it going' Michael (who has the time, patience etc....) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda M.

Janice - My suggestion was for people to share details on the list from the certificates they had purchased - so we can all benefit from the information - much as has been done in the past. I know when I purchase a certificate there is information on the person I'm looking for but also 1-2 additional entries (depending on whether it's a marriage or birth/death) that aren't usually people I'm researching specifically. However someone else on the list may find those people useful for their research - either for their direct line or to fill in siblings/cousins along the way. And of course, there are always those times when I buy a certificate only to find out that it wasn't the person I was hoping for after-all. I've been trying to share the details from certificates I've purchased on list - both to hopefully provide helpful information to others from the extras on the certificates and to maybe catch the attention of others working collateral lines to my own with the details about the family I've bought the certificate for. I'm assuming Michael's offer was intended to give another option for those who might be willing to share the information from the certificates with the list but for whatever reason - lack of time, difficulty with the handwriting, whatever - don't want to transcribe them. Certainly it would be an individual choice to share with the list at all or via Michael - no one is obligated to share any information - certificates or otherwise with the list. However the more information we all share, the more answers we'll all end up with - which is the goal here, isn't it? I know I've benefited from the information you've shared with the list in the past and I appreciate your willingness to share it - thank you!

Thanks Michael - I'll take you up on that offer if I come across some I can't read or if the task starts becoming overwhelming. I'm enjoying all the extra traffic on the list as well - even when the posts don't relate to my family lines, it's always interesting to read.

I'm still working on transcribing the birth/marriage/death details from certificates I've gotten from ScotlandsPeople. As I do so, I'll be sharing on the list and am willing to send a copy of the certificate to those who ask. I know others have shared in the past as well. I think it would be beneficial if we could all share the details on the certificates we've acquired - with 2 marriages and 3 births/deaths per certificate, I'm betting they'll be helpful to another researcher. I think someone (was it Michael?) volunteered to transcribe for anyone who didn't have the time or had difficulty reading the certificates. Everything shared on the list is archived through Rootsweb so is available to researcher in the future as well. And I believe Ian updates his website from such transcriptions as well. Just a thought to make the list even more useful. -- Linda MacCormick Towne

Linda, Sorry for the delay in responding. Lots going on in my place at the moment. I have not focussed on the siblings of Catherine McLachlan and have found very little on her ancestors. Lots of information on her descendants. I don't have a lot on Catherine McLachlan but here goes /*Catherine McLachlan*/ Born Morven 2/8/1841 Migrated Australia 1852 on Marmion Married Donald Campbell 3/12/1869, Narracoorte, South Australia /*Siblings */ Katrine b. 15.12.1829 Morven d. unknown John b. 6/1/1831 Morven d. 20/4/1904 Narracoorte, South Australia Mary b. 21/1/1834 Morven d. 30/12/1883 Narracoorte, South Australia Alan b. 23/7/1836 Morven d. unknown Barbara b. 26/4/1839 Morven d. 7/10/1897 Narracoorte, South Australia Anne (Agnes?) b. 6/4/1844 Morven d. 1/1/1897 South Australia Allan b. 15/4/1849 Morven d. unknown Agnes ?

Always looking to add to "Headstones" section, where a few can be currently viewed http://www.mullfamilies.co.uk/browsemedia.php?mediatypeID=headstones Anyone wishing ancestral MIs/headstones included, please email me off list Michael ----- Original Message ----- From: "BRETT MCCALLUM" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, July 25, 2011 1:24 AM Subject: Re: [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] roll-call of research interests I believe your Alexander McCallum may be buried in the cemetary at Avoca Quebec on the north shore of the ottawa river. I may have a picure of the grave stone, I will check my files. There are many McCallums buried there, all from mull. ________________________________ From: Sandford MacLean <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: SCT-ISLEOFMULL <[email protected]> Sent: Sun, July 24, 2011 12:04:43 PM Subject: Re: [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] roll-call of research interests Hello, My name is Sandford MacLean. I live in Louisville, Kentucky, but was born in Canada. My MacLean ancestors emigrated to Quebec from the Ross of Mull in 1829, settling in Lochaber Township and Thurso. My Great-great-grandfather was DONALD MCLEAN, of Creich, born in 1786. He married JANET MCCALLUM in Bunessan in 1809. Janet was the elder daughter of ALEXANDER MCCALLUM of Fidden and CATHERINE MCGILLVRAY. I am interested in this Mclean/MacLean line, the McCallums, and McGillvrays. I also research my other Scots lines, which are not Muileachs. One of my interests is Scottish heraldry, especially that of the MacLeans. Donald McLean BTW, was armigerous.

My name is Trish McMullan. I was born in Glasgow and came to live in New Zealand as a nine year old. My road back to Mull goes through my mother's line - Elizabeth Beaton - Hugh Beaton - Hugh Beaton - John Beaton (1830-96, born Dervaig, died Glasgow) - Hector Beaton (born about 1802, Mull) and Alice McLean (born 1801, Mull), who both came from Dervaig, near Tobermory, and probably died in Glasgow. Hector and Alice are listed in the 1841 Scotland Census, residing in Glasgow. Alice is listed in the 1851 Scotland Census, residing in Glasgow. I am most appreciative of the help that I received on this website, and for Michael's help and support. I look forward to seeing Dervaig for myself in 2012. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
