Hi Bob,
Great to make contact.
I know the feeling- I spend a lot of time on one line and then in the Scottish parlance- I get "scunnered"= fed up and frustrated, and leave it for a while.
I would like to be in touch by email of which the first part is- sheenash65 and I use gmail so I think you can work that out.
I was born in Kilwinning Parish but went to school in Dalry and lived in Ayrshire all my life until 2014. We are now (in our old age!) close to our daughters who have settled in the Midlands of England.
I have been investigating these families since 1996, my father's side. Have you taken a DNA test? I took the Ancestry one about 2 years ago. It is a mixed blessing!
More when we are in touch through email.
Best wishes, Sheena, nee Parker.

Hi Rfarace

I am also descended from Speirs of Camphill, Dalry, and Donalds of Broomhill.
It would be great to exchange info.
I have not been on this site for a while so I hope you have not given up on this quest.

Hi cecharlton.
I am also descended from this family from North Camphill, Dalry. I am very interested to hear that you have the original of James  Speir's sad letter written in 1741. I assume you must be descended from the line that went to Canada. I have very little information on this line. Some of my information came from Ena and Annette Arrol, in Glasgow, who died a few months ago. I believe they visited their Canadian relations c 1960. My copy of James Speir's letter came from them- my 2nd cousins twice removed. It would be great to be in touch.
Shehar.

I have just discovered this site and I am descended from the Speirs of North Camphill, Dalry. I have a copy of the James Speir letter from 1741. I note that someone has the original which was discovered in Canada after a Jock Speir died in 1999. I would like to be in touch with d day as we must be related. I have just revised my history of the Speirs of Camphill.  There are one or two inaccuracies in some of the previous correspondence.
Hope to be in touch with other Speir researchers.
