Hi Genny (if you're still about).

Would love to hear whether there's anything in there about the Shirvan (aka Castleton) estate once owned by the Graham-Campbells. My ancestors (Carrick's) once worked on their estate, prob as farm servants or ag labs. I understand the estate moved location in the area, starting out further in-land, before ending up on the top edge of Lochgilp.

Regards
Ann

Shirvan was McLachlan land from 13th century. I've traced my line to McLachlan living there in 18th and 19th centuries

I've traced my line back to McLachlan from Shirvan, Kilmichael, Argyll. 18th century. They married Leitch, MacKechren, McIntyre and possibly McKenzie.

Would love to hear from anyone with similar connections

I've traced back to 18th century McLachlan's of Shirvan (farm), Kilmichael.  Furthest I get is John McLachlan who married MacKechren and their son John who married Leitch.

Would love to get further back

Actually not sure if i can use that site.

My subtype is R1b-S7826

My DNA signature from the Chromo2 test seems to have different values from the link provided.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Family History & Chromo
« on: Thursday 03 March 16 12:01 GMT (UK)  »
I'm Scottish and traced my family back to 18th century.  My surname is McLeary who came from Ireland to Muirkirk, Ayrshire.  However, I found my family tree goes to MacLachlan's from Kilmichael, Argyllshire (3rd Great Grandmother married Campbell (born Ireland)), and MacIntyre (4th Great Grandmother) from Kilmartin, Ayrshire.  Thats where I've hit a dead-end and cannot go further.

I've also just got my Chromo DNA results from ScotlandsDNA and not quite sure what to do with it now.  Unfortunately it seems the DNA matching websites dont accept ScotlandsDNA results.  Any hints appreciated.
