Hi Jean,
I have been searching for information on the McBean's of Alvie Parish from the village of Tallisol Of Raitts which is 2 k's from Kingussie for more than 20 years and I am at a standstill with the birth in 1791 of Donald McBean and Jean McGregor his wife of 1794.  They had six children but I don't think they are connected to William.  I will do a little research and see if they fit into out tree and will keep you posted.
I have other McBeans and memebers of the family who bare also trying to get over the hurdle of Donald and Jean.


All the best,

Terry in Sydney

Laura, 
You are a real sweetheart.  At last after twenty years of working on the tree you have managed to get over the hurdle we are all stumbling on.

You are hereby awarded to Sherlock Holmes medal.

Well done and I thank you.

Merry Christmas.

Terry

I am looking for Donald McBean born Alvie 1792 m Jean McGregor (McGrigor)1794.

They had six children from 1818 to Alexander McBean G Grandfather b 1828.  He emmigrated to Melbourne Australia.

I have not been able to find Donald's or Jeam's siblings or parents and would love to do so.

Do you have any info on these people and are they connected to your McBains, McBeans?

All the best,

Terry in Sydney.

Thank you for your email. 

It is the first real positive info that I have had in 10 years.  At last I have found someone who knows about Raitts.  Felicity and I went there last year and found one of the archiologists who researched the village so that it could be replicated at the museum in the next village south from Kingussie.  It is a must to see if you are in that area as it shows you what the conditions were back 200years ago.

I do hope that you can find a connection as I spend 6 hours a week trying to gleen info from all sorts of libraries but to no avail.

Last night I found info saying that Donald was born 1787 Donald's father was Donald, 1757 his grandfather was John 1720.  John's wife was Anna McPherson whose father was Elias McPherson and her mother was Elspeth.

Does this relate to your family?

Cheers,

Terry
