I have just created a website for my Barnetts who originated in Scotland.
I plan to add more documents at a later date, but need to get it going.

it is: http://www.barnetts-r-us.com
Right now It may not come up in a search.  I found it by Googling:
"Barnetts in Kentucky".   Please take a look at it!

Hi Tracie, I have John Smith, born 1818, Insch, Aberdeenshire, and died 1896, Saginaw, Michigan.  He married Elizabeth Gilmore (1816-1904) in 1838, arrived in Michigan 1866. I believe his parents are William Smith and Elizabeth Brown. Thank you for the link to your page! I will try to find a connection.
