I have been researching the Scoraig and Carnach area which is the next peninsular to the south as that is where my g grandparents - Fraser/McDonald/McKenzie - came from. It is a difficult area to research past 1800 but I am certainly learning a lot about the history and geography of the area! Thanks a lot you have inspired me to keep going. I know our family has conections with Nova Scotia and possibly also Coigach - yet to be confirmed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saturday 07/27/2002 7:32:15pm Name: Ron MacKenzie E-Mail: [email protected] Homepage Title: Homepage URL: Referred By: Search Engine Location: Comments: Aleays a pleasure to come back to see what is new! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thursday 06/20/2002 2:03:29pm Name: Lisa Thomas E-Mail: [email protected] Homepage Title: Homepage URL: Referred By: Search Engine Location: Western PA Comments: Searching for family in Scotland....

I have been trying to trace my Annie MacDonald (Gt. Grandmother) who was born to William MacDonald and Annie MacLeod in 1855. Her marriage certificate says place of birth was Dumfriesshire, however I can only find a record that matches her description in Fodderty, Ross and Cromarty. I would love to hear of anyone who may know of her, and if Ross and Cromarty are anywhere near Dumfries. She married in Victoria Australia in 1880 to Arthur Ashwin, and at the time stated she was a widow 'Campbell'. I can not find any other details for her. Good luck to you and all your researchers, Denise -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friday 04/05/2002 5:00:27pm Name: L Marilyn Cameron Stinson E-Mail: [email protected] Homepage Title: Homepage URL: Referred By: Search Engine Location: St Joseph Minnesota USA Comments: Very interesting site.

It's great to be able to see all the families on the Coigeach peninsula. I have started collating all the information gained into a family story of my two Mc LEOD families. Malcolm (boatbuilder) and Jessie; Donald (crofter) and Isaballa; and their respective offspring. Malcolm's daughter, Flora, married Murdoch, son of Donald and Isabella. They came to Australia in 1862 on the "Ariadne" the first ship to make MARYBOROUGH, in Queensland, the first port of call. Murdoch and Flora settled at Port Curtis, Gladstone, and called their small property "Greenhill". I have since found a place called "Greenhill" in Sutherland, Scotland. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuesday 02/08/2000 10:02:36pm Name: Virginia Ling E-Mail: [email protected] Homepage Title: Homepage URL: http:// Referred By: From a Friend Location: Tasmania Comments: I have just read your community profile on Faochag Thankyou so much Donald, I feel like rushing off to see this place for myself.You have just added another demesion to genealogy on the net. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monday 01/31/2000 9:07:29pm Name: Peggy McKenzie E-Mail: [email protected] Homepage Title: McKenzie/Mueller Family Tree Homepage URL: http://home.t-online.de/home/mckenzie/roots.htm Referred By: Just Surfed On In Location: Frankenhausen, Germany Comments: Donald, you have a tremendous amount of research on these pages.

My fourth generation McLeod ancestor was born there in 1818. Circumstances indicate that point of origin was probably either Assynt or Coigach. I am having great difficulty finding records from so long ago. The fifth generation was John McLeod (the 6 in my address means what it says) and his wife was Ann Cameron. That is all that I know about them. Family oral tradition holds that the sixth generation was George McLeod, but that hint is all that I even think that I know about him. Thank you for any clues that any of you might be able to provide. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friday 04/02/1999 5:08:17am Name: Ronald Hugh MacKenzie E-Mail: [email protected] Homepage Title: Homepage URL: http:// Referred By: From a Friend Location: Kamloops, BC, Canada Comments: Actually, Donald found me!

Hunter E-Mail: [email protected] Homepage Title: Homepage URL: http:// Referred By: Net Search Location: Canada Comments: Great database. My paternal grandmother's grandfather was one Alexander McLeod, who was christened in the 1830's. I see in Reiff 41-6, an Alex McLeod, christened June 11, 1830. I don't see this individual in the next 2 census lists. Could this be my ancestor who left Scotland with the Hudson's Bay Company and became Chief Factor at Abitibi Post 1873-1885? This is the first Alex/Alexander I have seen with same year of christening as my ancestor. What do you think?
