My ggf obituary in 1937, stated his was a member of Clan MacGregor, at that time his living in New York. Has anyone ever tried to connect a family member to a clan when they have had only a name, age, town of birth,(Arbroath). His obituary also mentioned he was a member of the Black Watch Division. He fought in the Boer War and a while back I obtained an image of him from one of those books published afterward. (the name fails to come to mind at the moment).

Someone somewhere must know of David Alexander Stevenson MUNRO and His brother Thomas Murray MUNRO of Wester Muir Dean near Kelso as listed in the 1881 Census. They are the Brothers of my Great Grandfather Robert Stevenson MUNRO who came out to South Australia c 1890's as a marine engineer of steamships. If these two missing from my research are known to any of you, pretty please make this Aussie happy and reply.

I didn't realise there was one. The Homes figure quite prominently in Border history though. After James Vl became James l he set out to destroy the Border Reivers and many Border families (particularly the Grahams) were banished to Ireland (amongst other places). Whilst the Reivers were thieves, murderers etc and one could forgive him for wanting them stopped, the families were treated quite harshly - in fact it was the clearances BEFORE the Highland Clearances - which is what most people hear about today.

Would this be the reason why there is a Home Castle in Ireland as well?
Rosemary Miles Comment by Rosemary Miles on January 29, 2010 at 11:39pm
I visited the ruined Home Castle when I was in Scotland last year. Very old Border clan.
Craig Humes Comment by Craig Humes on January 29, 2010 at 11:35pm
I am to believe that I am from the Home clan. Anyone connected to this family?
Pamela NICHOLLS Comment by Pamela NICHOLLS on January 29, 2010 at 11:07pm
Hi I am connected to the BLACK, MOWBRAY & WEDDERBURN families
Are there any researchers interested in these families...which connect together by marriage?

Hello all,
I'm researching clan Malcolm/Malcom. I can traace my Malcolms back to the mid 1700s in Virginia. I'm still working on the connection back to Scotland. Maybe Scots/Irish? Any other Malcolm researchers out there?
