It doesn't sound like a match, but the person who might know is Ms.
Makie---who has lots of information on connections with Scotland and seems
very knowledgeable about geneology (I am very ignorant)

To the Chisholm's of Urquhart,
I traced my Chisholm family back to Farnell & Rescobie Scotland which I
believe is close to Inverness & the Urquhart Castle. I'm wondering if
we might be connected. I've traced the family back to Andrew Chisholm
and Betty Mann married 1823 Rescobie. Their children were William b.
12/18/1827, Betty 3/18/1827, Betty 3/18/1827, Robert b. 6/9/1830, Jean
b. 7/29/1837, David b. 10/31/1834, Margaret b. 6/29/1837, Andrew b.
7/12/1840, John Carnegie Chisholm my G Grandfather b. 7/15/1842 Farnell,
Ann b. 12/7/1845, James 3/30/1848. These are all Christening dates not
birth dates.
Also, my Great Grandmother John's wife Williamina Manson was born in
Inverness.
Love to hear from you to see if we have a family match. I also have the
names of John and Williamina's children.

Thanks for all the great information....(I especially enjoyed the site that
gives the definitions of measures of land....I've always wondered about rods
and links and furlongs and acres, but never for long enough to actually go
look up that information)...The past generation of my family all knew those
things, because they were farmers and surveyors.

I will run across something again that I will wonder about. <grin>
And there are more links at the bottom of this site for terminology in

Go to www.google.com and type in Urquhart Castle and you will come up with a number of websites that show pictures of the castle and the high hill it sits on.

There are excellent color pictures of Urquhart castle in the book SCOTLAND,
by Nigel Blundell, published by Barnes & Nobel
In The HIGHLAND CLANS, by Sir Iain Moncreiffe of the Ilk, is a picture if
the ancestral home ( up to 1887) of the Chisholm clan chief and one of
Comar former home of The Chisholm of Strathglass.

I wonder if some kind person would know where it may be possible to purchase black and white sketch prints of Erchless Castle and Urquhart Castle, both of which have been occupied by my ancestors, and therefore have meaning for me. A contact address, e.mail addy, phone number, would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks,

The Story Tellers.....
We are the chosen. My feelings are in each family there is one who
seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and
make them live again, to tell the family story and to feel that somehow
they know and approve. To me, doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of
facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. We are
the story tellers of the tribe. All tribes have one. We have been called,
as it were, by our genes. Those who have gone before cry out to us: Tell
our story. So, we do.
In finding them, we somehow find ourselves. How many graves have I
stood before now and cried? I have lost count. How many times have I told
the ancestors you have a wonderful family you would be proud of us? How
many times have I walked up to a grave and felt somehow there was love
there for me? I cannot say.
It goes beyond just documenting facts. It goes to who am I and why do I do
the things I do? It goes to seeing a cemetery about to be lost
forever to weeds and indifference and saying I can't let this happen.
The bones here are bones of my bone and flesh of my flesh. It goes to doing
something about it. It goes to pride in what our ancestors were able to
accomplish. How they contributed to what we are today. It goes to
respecting their hardships and losses, their never giving in or giving up,
their resoluteness to go on and build a life for their family.
It goes to deep pride that they fought to make and keep us a Nation..
It goes to a deep and immense understanding that they were doing it for us.
That we might be born who we are. That we might remember them. So we do.
With love and caring and scribing each fact of their existence, because we
are
themand and they are us. So, as a scribe called, I tell the story of my
family.
It is up to that one called in the next generation to answer the call and
take their
place in the long line of family storytellers.
That, is why I do my family genealogy, and that is what calls those young
and old
to step up and put flesh on the bones.
