Hi Barbara,
My Scott family was Thomas 1800, George 1802, James 1810 who went to Tasmania. The others were Margaret, Agnes, Robert & Adam. Their parents were George and Elizabeth (or Betty) Pringle. Scott is a common name so I guess they are not your line.

I've been researching my family lines for years and have gone as far as I can here in America. Now onto Ireland and Scotland. In Scotland were in Ayr, Ayrshire, Snodgrass Village. I have pictures of the old Manor House and surrounding buildings that were taken back in the early 90's before they were tore down and the property sold off. So I'm still looking for any info in Scotland on the surname of Snodgrass and all of it's different spellings.

Hello everyone,
Bruce and Scott were my great grandparents they came to New York in 1849, stayed there for a while, then Illinois ending up in Iowa.
They came from the Border area Selkirshire and Roxburghshire.

Hi everyone. New to this site. I am researching most of my Scottish Ancestors. I have the Omond, Traill, Reid & Bruce from Orkney & Shetland Islands. My Dundee Angus are Longair /Lumgair, Fargie. From Polmont Stirling I have Gardiner & Robertson. Would love to hear from anyone with these names in their tree. Willing to share all I have on any of these names.

Am researching Duncan McNabb who married Hannah Cameron, daughter of "Castle" John Cameron and his wife Annabella McLennan who came to the Puslinch Ontario area @ 1841. The Camerons were from Ullapool, Rossshire, Scotland, but I cannot trace Duncan McNabb further back. Duncan and Hannah Cameron were married @ 1846, and had children Mary, Anabella, John and Alexander. John moved to Michigan in 1879.

I am researching my family name of Gregson. My 2x great grandfather, Henry Gregson from Liverpool, met and married Margaret Davidson who was born in Wick in 1832. They were married in Leith in 1850 and then travelled down to London (Poplar) where they settled. I believe Margaret's mother came from Orkney - South Ronaldsay, but I don't know her family name or where Margaret's father came from. Does anyone have any clues??
Comment by Donald McIlhagga on July 11, 2009 at 4:02am
I'm interested in all occurences of the name McIlhagga and its variants, eg McIlhagger, McIlhaga, McElhago, &c. I'm involved in a 'Clan' website which is being remodelled at present. I also write a blog at
Donald.
