Thanks Andy,

This confirms what I was seeing.  Appreciate the translation of "nin ..."  I guessed it was to do with mom's pedigree.  What do you think "Dolicye" means when referring to the other Margaret MacKay?  Also, I saw much later baptisms for a Donald (8/31/1831), Christian (12/6/1827), Mary (2/5/1826), Margaret (6/10/1834), and William (5/14/1838) in Tarbat by Fearn.  The parents are listed as Thomas MacCulloch & Margaret MacKay.  What do you think this could mean - a second baptism perhaps?

Also, do you know where Cennabin or Cnocbreac or Balamhulich are located?  I did see Island Choarie.

Very excited to return to Scotland and explore this area.  Saw a lot of the highlands, but not that far north.

I am currently looking for my husband's GGG grandfather, John MacCulloch, who was born about 1789, married Jean M. Brander in 1808 in Kingussie, and died there in either 1840 or 1850 (I have differing opinions from 2 sources).  I think he could possibly be the son of Thomas MacCulloch & Margaret MacKay as many of names of brothers carry through to later generations.  My info says that Thomas was born about 1755 (or 1759) and married Margaret MacKay 12/1778.  There is also reference to his having 2 illegitimate children, George and Janet with another Margaret MacKay?  This family evidently settled in Tarbat by Fearn eventually, and  would account for our John having come from "north of Ft. George".  I have also seen references to a John MacCulloch of Durness, married to Catherine MacKay.  They also had a son, John, but the timing seems off.

Any help you can give me will be appreciated.
