Hi Mary Thanks for your reply. If I am correct your James McDougall b 18 Apr 1839 in Salen By Tobermory, Argyll, Scotland. I had some McDougalls births logged in Salen around that time. I am keen to know of any McDougal (var Spelling) - mine had McLullich also. I am puting them all on data file as I find them and trying to connect. I so far have 2 siblings for your James above. Did you have anymore info on them? If I find any I will let you know. SMALL WORLD My Maiden name is MORE from Caithness Scotland back to late 1600s. I have just found an Argyll branch of McDougall married a MORE and settled in Caithness, so that really gets confusing now and exciting! Hi Julia. I am sure we are talking same McDougall family but I am working on it. Haven't forgotten. Tricia
