Argyllshire / Re: Niel Black (1804-1880) Argyllshire-Australia: 'Black' Ancestors/Family Tree
« on: Monday 24 June 19 23:09 BST (UK) »
Hello Sapientia,
In case it helps I just became aware of Niel Black myself and was curious about his ancestors as well, as I do a lot of research on the last name Black as well. I was "told" he is related to the Blacks of Garvie, Glendaruel, Scotland. It is my impression that they are the oldest line of Blacks who are directly related to the Lamonts. This line of Blacks goes pretty far back and I think the last name is consistent, except maybe direct gaelic translations. It is my impression that most of the Black name variations, english and gaelic, alike, are found elsewhere. However, I could be wrong about this, just my impression.
Thank you,
Jay
