Greetings from British Columbia, Canada. I am researching my
MCCOLMAN ancestors arriving in Canada from Islay in the early
1830s. I'm hoping to learn more about the ancestors that remained
on Islay too. I have not researched the McColman families lately
(I work from materials gathered by cousins many years ago that
have been passed on to me) but would love to begin again - to
verify the information I have and to learn more. My ancestors
born in Islay:

Thank you for reading my family names. I hope to find others
researching the families to share and compare notes. The families
all followed the Scottish naming pattern - keeping them in the
proper group is difficult!!
