Hi Ida Thanks for email - some of it I already had. The McLullich threw me of track a bit when I first discovered it. . You are correct about Henrietta. I was looking for Neil McDougall and Henrietta McPhail late 1700s in Torosay taken from Birth place of their son Duncan McDougall bc 1802 -5 who moved to Laggan in Invernessshire. On discovering a Niel McLullich m Effy McPhail I did some digging and found: "Girls whose parents had given them the name Oighrig, were invariably recorded as Henrietta or Euphemia. Why Henrietta? Why Euphemia? . . . Every Oighrig whom I ever knew continued to be known as Oighrig whenever we spoke Gaelic and all those who had been dispossessed of their native tongue and spoke only English wished to be known as Effie or Etta . . . " I shall read through all the emails last couple of days - Thanks to all for input on these Mcdougal related names names. Moira. I will reply direct in next few days re Laggan families - There were of course many McPherson but. we may find a match. Thanks all Tricia
