Thank you so much for your support .  It is a horrible thing to happen to anybody and I feel so angry and violated  .  It is good to know that I am not alone and as for getting help from Windows live, quite frankly that is a joke.  I did manage to get it back once and changed the password, but that didn't help much for the next time I tried I was still locked out.  I am so glad I am maybe a little old fashioned and don't do any banking on the net.  If they had managed to get into that it would have been even more of a mess.  Once again thanks for your support - it has helped put a little smile back on my face.

I look after a very clever little boy one day a week and he was there when all the phone calls came from relatives checking to see if I was home and I had not been mugged.  He was sitting on my knee as I tried to login to my mail and unable to do so and he realised something was wrong and told me that a very BAD BAD man (person) was making me so sad and he would get his dad to sort the hijacker out (bash him hard on the nose).  When I spoke to his parents he had told them all about it and he was so lovingly supportive that the fact he thought his dad could sort things out.  That did make me smile.

A very old thread but ..

I have Archibald McTavish b1771(?)  with Parents Edward and Flora Currie siblings Duguld, Ann and Elizableth

"Erected by Dugald MACTAVISH, smith at SKIPNESS and Catherine CAMPBELL his spouse in memory of his father Edward McTAVISH late smith at Skipness who was a charitable and respected man who died July 1801 aged 71 years; also Flora CURRIE his mother who died Nov 1823 aged 84 also of their children Archd, Betty and Ann This stone marks the family burying place."

Hi there.  My Archibald was born 1711 and died 1777, so I don't think there is a match as I have no McTavishs in the Skipness area at all.  It would have been great if we had a match, but unfortunately not.  Thanks for letting me know anyway.

Regards

I saw it on his son's birth Certificate. which I can't find at the moment.  Ir is the only clue I have.  Thanks for helping me even if nothing came of it.

Is there some kind person who would do a look up for me please.  I am looking for a marriage certificate for John Henry and Alice Cameron (may be Alice Carmody) who married Jan 1847, Bellinghame, Northumberland.  They later moved to Dumfries, Scotland.  In advance, many thanks,

Kind regards

Hi William

Of course it was you and once again I am very grateful for ALL the help, pictures and information you found for me.  I am in the middle of another branch of the family and I think I need to unscramble my brain cells (what there is left of them .  I hope you are not mad at me.  How are you doing?

Best
