Hi Ian, Christine and list, I too have searched the IGI unsuccessfully. I searched at the family history centers back in '94 and since they went on line I keep trying every once and a while. Is it realistic to think I can't find anything on these individuals? We're not sure what the W. stands for. Kenneth "commissioned" head stones to be erected for his children who died before him with the following "Erected by Kenneth W. McLeod, Esq. of Middle River and Eliza Ann his wife in memory of..." His own head stone was erected by his son and lists his name as Kenneth MacLeod. Over the years he himself spelled his surname both ways. I've searched it both ways. Unfortunately there is no headstones for Kenneth Sr. and his first wife, Robina (Rebina). The Middle River Historian is a "cousin" and she too has been doing research on this line with out success. I was hoping that this list might have a different perspective that we haven't tried. Since the residents of Middle River don't have any better information I thought I'd try my hand at finding information with this list since you are all researching this area for some reason or another. Thanks for all of your help everyone! Tracy Tracy A. MacLeod e-mail tamacleod@mediaone.net web site http://people.ne.mediaone.net/tamacleod/index.html
