Oliphants of Kellie

[sue smith]

Hi

am currently researching the Oliphant family of Kellie castle and their descendants - mainly from 1363 - 1613.  I'm doing this as a volunteer research project for the National Trust for Scotland.

I already have a lot of information - including an outline family tree but am interested in any info anyone else may have from parish registers, memorial inscriptions etc.  Kellie was in Carnbee parish.

Am also happy to share what I have with anyone researching the same line.

Thanks  Sue

Hello Sue. Will your research, once completed, be accessible to the general public, online and/or in paper format? I'm interested in East Neuk of Fife genealogy generally, and had ancestors who lived on various farms and estates in Carnbee parish.

The surname Oliphant was fairly widespread in the area, apart from the landed family at Kellie Castle.

Hi Both

sorry for the late response - had a break from geneology for a while as been creating my own descendants 

Afraid I don't have anything relating to the two you list RKC. The research I did was passed to National Trust and used to help produce the last edition of the visitors guide.
