Hello there, Yes the information has been passed down through the family. We have the history going back to Duncan's father, possibly grandfather. They came from Glenisla in Angus. My own father is an Ogilvie from South Shields. I have been back to Arbroath several times and there are grave stones in the abbey churchyard related to our family also. Alexander Hunter was also an interesting character. My own son is christened Alexander Thomas Johnson Ogilvie. I am Graeme Thomas Johnson Ogilvie and it goes back for about 5 generations using the same names. It's taken a good 20 years to piece the history together as some information about his ships exists at the maritime museum in Greenwich. I may have said previously but the ship that sank in the great storms was the Nestor.
