I have a copy of a 1861 Census that Mary Campbell(my great gandmother) was born in Lismore, Argyllshire about 1825. Her address was Killeane and she was a farmer of 13 acres. How would I obtain more information on her? Love your site and had the pleasure of visiting Lismore in 1998. We visited your museum and I met Deidre Campbell who has the same thumbs as me, Take care, Jean

I always like to see what Lios Mòr is doing. The new museum project is ambitious and I have, as always, great respect and faith in the people of liosmor to bring it together. I'm still out there, telling the history of the
island to tourists and promoting it as a visitor choice.

As a visitor to Lismore it would be great to read a synopsis of the history in easy to read English. But I love the island - it is absolutely just right and I hope the future balance of the island stays as the perfect mix it
seems to be today.

Clan Livingstone/MacLea has been working very hard on a DNA project to figure out just who is and who isn't a Livingstone from Lismore and vicinity.
This project is also helping us to understand just how we might be genetically
related to other clans such as the Carmichaels, the Campbells the Blacks, etc.
If you or anyone in your family has an interest in learning more about this
project, go to our DNA website at www.familytreedna.com/public/livingston_maclea_dna
or visit our Clan Livingstone website at http://www.clanmclea.co.uk/SiteMap.htm
Cheers, Rob Livingston

Spent last week staying in Port Appin and visited Lismore for a couple
of days, one of which by bike so I got to see a lot of it. It's a fantastic
place with wonderfully friendly people. Good luck with the Heritage Centre. Do
you happen to have contact details for the Contractor working on the scheme? I
spoke to one of them while I was there and would be interested in getting in
touch.

I hope the project goes from strength to strength. I was surfing to
find evidence of the McColl family ,Brylen Croft,Achinduin as my aunt Jane
Forrest from Hamilton married Duncan who died in 1940 and left it to his son
also named Duncan. They lived in Johannesburg. Hope to sail to Lismore this
summer.

I am glad to see a Lismore site. I am researching the McColls. My gg
grandmother Ann McColl (c.1820-1915)married Donald McPhail (1811-1895) around
1843. They emigrated to Elgin County, Ontario Canada about 1884 with grown
children. I believe Ann's parents were Alexander McColl and Mary McCallum who
may have emigrated to Ontario even prior to 1884. Campbell seems to be a common
middle name in this family.

What a great site - I was introduced to it by one of your regulars who emailed me and pointed out to me that this is the same McColl family that I belong to. www.mccoll-name.com
Our branch left Appin for South Carolina, USA 17th and 18 centuries. I'll be
checking back - Thank you - a chara :)fran

Have known for some time that my dads family,McCaigs and Keiths were from Lismore in the early 1800s.Incredibly, have now found that my mum's family, McColls and McInnes' were also from Lismore and at the same time!! So it's no wonder the whole family loves the island so much.

Hi
I don't know whether anyone can help me or not, Jane Muirhead recommended your
site to me.
I am tracing my ancestors and have managed to get back to 1757. My ancestor
Samuel McColl who was the son of Hugh McColl and born on Lismore married a Janet
Campbell and they had 14 children. Samuel became the schoolmaster on Lismore,
also the postmaster and also the clerk to the kirk session. His gravestone
stands in Lismore graveyard. As far as I know the children's names were (some names are repeated so obviously the first children born of that name died) JOHN, HUGH, ANGUS, EUPHEMIA, LILLY, ANNE, DONALD, MAGDALENE, ALEXANDER, DONALD, JOHN, MARY, ALEXANDER.
I know that Anne died in 1891 in Taynlochan on 11.09.1891. Hugh McColl was a
tenant farmer in Kenlochlaich. If anyone has any info on this family could they
please get in touch. I am hoping to visit Lismore in a couple of weeks and look
forward to it.
