Jackie I answer the same to anyone with ancestral questions : take hearsay with a pinch of salt. I'll stick my neck out and say that the vast majority of known ancestors we have (born/bap Mull), have their roots on Mull, probably for many generations. A MacPhail family in Glenforsa had ancestors going back 800 years. Because most of us cannot get back beyond the information in the 1779 Estates, I would suggest accepting that. Too many people 'invent' ancestors. >From what I've seen of your 'family' (not convinced it is), I couldn't possibly add to what I have on site without something more concrete. I'm always happy to check out family lines (for anyone), but I have to be emailed what you have Michael www.mullfamilies.co.uk ----- Original Message ----- From: "JACQUELINEARCHIBALD" <yedida@eastlink.ca> To: <sct-isleofmull@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, September 09, 2013 5:50 PM Subject: Re: [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] Kinlochspelvie > Michael that is my john and |Ann or could be Catherine.
