Surname: CARMICHAEL, STALKER, DRUMMOND, RIDDOCH
-------------------------
I am interested in any Carmichael or related family and descendants from
Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland. This includes the Village of Comrie, St.
Fillans (Portmore), The Ross, Dalginross, the Breadalbane region and those
families that emigrated to Beckwith Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
Other settlements in around Comrie include Balmuik, Lurg, Carroglen, Kingarth,
Glaslarich, Tighnacroy, Balmenoch, Tighnasithe, Fintalich, Balnadalloch,
Balnacoul, Croftwhannel, Coishevachan, Innergeldie, Daden, Glenmaik, Bovaine,
Keplandie, Bowalker (all located in Glen Lednock). Other crofting areas
or settlements include Garrichrew, Balna, Lechkin, Easter and Wester Glentarken,
Derry, Tullybannocher, Woodend. Other regions of Scotland where they migrated
to in Scotland include Alloa and Port of Monteith, although some of the
families that originated in Comrie went to Glasgow, Edinburgh, England,
Canada, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand.
I am researching those families from the settlements mentioned above and
I am presently revising the 1924 book, "Donald Carmichael and his Descendants"
and would like to contact any descendant of the above before the revision
is published. Some of the information on this book, surnames of the descendants
and a description of some of the area can be found on the following web
sites.
