Hi Ian: Thanks. Now I hate to admit I am more confused - wish I knew and understood history better - I hear from other family members the words "ROSS" and there on that map is Ross of Mull.........so confusing - this one relative says arent you from Ross - never sure is she means Ross family connection or a place called ROSS - its sort of like, Ive gone all the tree work and passed it on to them but when we meet I dont get much back...perhaps they care not to explain. :) I will go do some searching of Ross - My one Bell is born Inverary/Glenary- marries Shaw of S. Knapdale and have children in Colonsay ------? Now up pops Mull! Perhaps their is some truth in family stories of Ross..... Thanks again for the direct link, it was of big help Sherri
