Re: Place name
Ken, Merry Christmas. My paternal grandmother is descended fro two McNabb families who came from Islay and settled in Simcoe Ontario some time around 1830. I have not been able to connect them to a family in Islay. Andrew McNabb, b.1777, his wife Catherine Matheson, b. 1879, children: Findlay McNabb, 1813, Duncan McNabb b. 1810, James McNabb b.c. 1815. Would you have a connection? Glynn Sent from my Galaxy

Place name
Donald Young
Hi all;
I have ancestors who lived at Ballicatrigan on the island of Islay in the 1790's. I presume this is the name of a farm. Has anyone researched the name, and/or prepared a history of settlement there? Thank you. Donald Young

Hi Barbara
Have you run the picture through Google images to see if there is a match? I tried, but the scan was too small to get any useful results, but a higher resolution file might get better results. You could also try this website - http://www.tartansauthority.com/tartan-ferret/ - if the search facility cannot identify the tartan, you could try emailing them a copy of the image to see if they can give you any help.

Wow, he's very distinguished looking with all the regalia. If there's a Clan association in the US, perhaps you can run it by the clan genealogist/historian to see if they can identify him.

Hi Barbara, Is there any way you can get a higher resolution scan of the photo? I can't get close enough to be able to make out the cap, or shoulder, badges without massive pixelation. Allan MacBain MBCS Associate Genealogist (UK & Europe), Clan MacBean Association.

Re: Mystery Photo
Goldie & Lido Doratti
Yes, nice find.....I’m wondering if someone wrote “Chief....” on it
implying he was the eldest of the family in the USA......most of us would say
Matriarch of the family, but maybe someone else had a different
thought........ Just trying to think outside the box..maybe it was
all in jest? He looks like he has been well
fed and is a healthy sort. Goldie

Re: Thomson/Thompson in the Borders of Scotland.
ROBERT F. RIDER
My bad for not noting what that film name was. I am still waiting for some of my family to answer if they remember. I had posted it on our old My Family site which has gone away. I have some feelers out and hope someone else noted it. I am positive I included
the source when it was posted to our old family site. This has been an excellent lesson to me. I have the copies I made when I viewed them but there's no information as to what the film name was. It seems odd that same film would not be listed now. I am wondering
if I tried calling family search or in an email if they could tell me?
