Smudge Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) I have been in the church for a while and currently live in a rural community in Scotland and attend a tiny branch where I am chorister. Other than that I am a part time college student and Brownie Guide leader :) Edited October 17, 2012 by Smudge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windseeker Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Welcome Smudge! I would love to see Scotland one day. I'm related to the Campbell clan but our records go to Ireland and no futher even though it's a well known scottish name. We don't know much about how they ended up in Ireland other than the a statement that my great-great grandfather made requesting that he be buried in Scotland not Ireland. Anyway, hope you enjoy the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudge Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 A member of my branch has done alot of work digitising what there is of the Irish records and has created a website. Unfortunately I don't know what it is and can't ask her as she is on her mission for another month or so - but if I remember when she gets back I will ask. She and her sister finished the work on the website the week before she and her husband got the call :) Depending on how long ago they ended up in Ireland I would imagine that they probably headed to Ireland at the time of the Highland clearences - alot of people forced from their homes headed to either Austrailia, the USA, Canada or Ireland I am actually English but have been in Scotland for a very long time. Thanks for the welcome :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
