Hello: Would like to correspond with anyone with info on the McInnis Family from Argyleshire, scotland that migrated to NC and on to Green County Mississippi. It appears that I have my roots back to Daniel McInnis, born Abt. 1735 in Argyleshire, Scotland; died Bet. 1830 - 1840 in Covington Co., Mississippi. He married to Sarah Jane. Sarah Jane, born Abt. 1740 in Scotland; died Abt. 1840 in Covington Co., Mississippi. Also seeking info on a John McInnis from Argyleshire, Scotland that migrated about the same time. I have reason that these 2 family/s merge somewhere in the 1700. Therefore would appreciate any info on the McInnis linage from Scotland about that time and back. Any information, (Birth, Marriage,Death, Passenger List, etc) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks: Earl McInnis @ emcinnis@lakeozark.net

I am hoping someone can help me in my search. My name is James (Jim) Kenneth Lloyd SMITH and I was born (12/51) in St. Andrews, Jamaica. My mother, Josephine Fredrica (ne ROBERTSON) SMITH, HARRIS was also born in St. Andrews. She is the youngest of 11 children born to Frederick Henry ROBERTSON and Madge GOODEY. The first 6 were born in England and the next 5 in the colony of Jamaica.

My grandfather's birth date is given, in London, as December 28, 1890...(Discussion says that he was born 1889.) The Certificate also provides the following address -- 67, The Grove, Palmers Green, Middlesex -- If any one has any information regarding my grandparents in Middlesex it would be extremely helpful. My great grandparents were Alexander Pirrie ROBERTSON and Elizabeth MERRYFIELD. I have very little information and would certainly appreciate any assistance. My aunts and uncles were as follows: 1. Audrey Madge (ne ROBERTSON) ELDER, born Middlesex, May 8, 1913, (living in British Columbia, Canada) 2. Joan Mary (ne ROBERTSON) ALLEN, born Middlesex, January 27, 1915, (died 1979, England) 3.

Hi Terry: I took a look at the LDS family search site and found this birth record for Swan Downer Dean who may be one of the persons you are looking for: Individual Record FamilySearch™ International Genealogical Index v4.01 British Isles Select record to download - (50 maximum) Swann Downer DEAN Sex: M Event(s): Christening: 31 Jan 1785 Inverkeithing, Fife, Scotland Parents: Father: John DEAN Mother: Euphemia TOD Source Information: Batch number: Dates Source Call No. Type Printout Call No. Type C114324 1772-1805 1040384 Film 6903125 Film When I did a 'parent search' using the parents of Swann above, the following children showed up: 1. Robert DEAN - International Genealogical Index Gender: M Christening: 30 Mar 1781 Inverkeithing, Fife, Scotland 2. Swann Downer DEAN - International Genealogical Index Gender: M Christening: 31 Jan 1785 Inverkeithing, Fife, Scotland 3. Elizabeth Ellis DEANS - International Genealogical Index Gender: F Christening: 25 Apr 1783 Inverkeithing, Fife, Scotland It's possible these are your folks. The TODD as a middle name seems to connect with the mother's name - not proof but a start perhaps. You may find it helpful to join the FIFE mailing list if these entries seem worth checking out further.

Hi I am searching for Robert Todd DEAN ( 1790 approx.) and Swan Downer ( believed to be brothers but very unsure of that) Robert married Janet McKay. They had a son Robert Todd DEAN. They came to Canada ( unsure when ) . We thought they came from the Dumfries area but so far no replies to my queries. Is there a way I can find Robert Todd DEAN ? I have very little info on Swan Downer DEAN. Any info would be greatly appreciated Thanks Terry Canada

I am interested in any information any body may have on Archibald McDonald and Ann Blair who arrived in Napier N.Z. aboard the Mana in 1857 from Scotland, possibly from the Isle of Bute. It is possible Achibald first arrived in1855 along with his brother (name unknown) aboard thier own ship possibly a whaler, and then returned to Scotland for Ann. A child, William Mana Blair McDonald, is believed to have been born on route to N.Z. This does not seem like a lot to go by, but at this stage it is all I know about thier Scotish history. Any information would be gratfully recieved. David McDonald davade@xtra.co.nz
