A beautiful place!

Hello, kelticwarrior, and a very warm welcome to Rootschat.  Do you need help with tracing these ancestors?  If so, please provide us with full details of what you already know and what you are looking for.

Unfortunately, many of the best records relating to Scotland are on a payperview site: Scotlandspeople.com.   You have to pay to access these records.  But folk on here may be able to help you by other means -- you never know!

PEPLOE/PEPLOW: Shropshire, Inverness
DAVIES: Inverness, Montgomeryshire, Ruabon
OWEN: Edinburgh, Aberystwyth, Middlesex, Essex, Kendal, Berwick, Montgomeryshire
TROLLOPE: Warwickshire, Middlesex
TAYLOR & McKAY: Montreal, Canada

My progenitor Neill McNeill left Gigha on June 28, 1739 for the Cape Fear area of North Carolina.  He boarded the Thistle and landed in North Carolina in October.  Neill died in about 1764 and had sons Roger, Henry, and Harry and daughters Catherine, Margaret, Flora, Mary, and Ann.  I have evidence that his brother was Taynish Donald McNeill.  Donald Taynish McNeill descendants included Anna Mathilda McNeill Whistler a.k.a "Whistler's Mother".  Any information on this family in Gigha is greatly appreciated.
