Not good news I fear.  And I suspect Ancestry will be more expensive (and out of my budget!) in the not so distant future .... and I’ll bet they’re delighted to be able to access all those Ancestry DNA results too.

Subject: [Islay] Books by Scott Buie

Hi everyone,

I am wondering if anyone knows of a way that I could purchase a copy of the book called "The People of the Parish of Jura," written by Scott Buie.

It used to be available in some locations, but a recent search hasn't turned up any results.

I ask because of my hope that there may be some further hints in the book regarding the multiple McDougald families that went to North Carolina, as well as those who stayed longer on the Isle.

Any information or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Many thanks and all the best,

Chris

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the info and the correction.

Sorry, as per my reply to Flora, I should have read the report generated by my genealogy program
more closely.

I have John Campbell  died 1834, most likely from a family member,  and I have no DOB for him just an "abt 1783" and my report generator took that as the actual date of birth of death and calcuated an age for him based on 1783, He could have been any age probably between 50 and 65.

In case it may help others using Famliy Tree Maker:-

I have over 250,000 folk in my family trees database and unfortunately I have had to change genealogy tree programs to cope with the large numbers and lost many sources in the transistions due to each programs differences in the GED file info they could cope with. I am currently using Rootsmagic which is the only program which would take in a native Family Tree Maker ".ftm"  file, the FTM program having given up on trying to create large GED files.

Charles,

This long tree ties together several mini-trees I have been working on for decades.  I want to be very careful before making any merges.

Please advise the List of your source(s) for this information.

One initial question is in the snipped section below, specifically " John CAMPBELL ... was born in 1768. He was born about 1783 ... He died in 1834 at the age of 51."  Which is the correct birth year?

By the way, Chinguacousy (no q) is in Peel County.

I would be grateful if you could please tell me where you got your information on Dugald Campbell's birth and also his death at the age of 78.   Dugald Campbell was my 3 x great grandfather and in all my years of research I have never come across that information.

I would also like to advise you that Alexander Campbell was born in 1864 and not 1894.   Ann Carmichael was born in 1886 and not "about 1868".

My 2 x great grandfather Alexander Campbell was born in Campbeltown in 1803 - not the Oa.
