Hello Members,

Could I humbly request your Duncan McDERMID line of ancestors/descendants?

McDERMID was also my wife's lineage.  Her relatives came to Australia from Argyll. in 1839. 

Maybe there is some link further back to the McDERMID/McDIARMID family in your Family Tree.

Sincerely

EDO

EDO!!!!!! Just found your post. Hope you still check back after all this time. I am a direct decendant of Donald and Mary McDermid [McDiarmid] who came to Australia on the George Fyfe in 1839. Their son Huge[Ewan] was my great great grandfather. I even have a photo of him. I have only recently started searching the net for info on my ancestors for fun, not seriously.  I have a second cousin who has done the family tree and he arranged a family reunion at Wingham NSW about 13 yrs ago. Wingham is where Donald and Mary settled when they came here. The farm house is still there but other people live in it. I have found websites with a bit of info on them which I was quite shocked about as I did not know that my family's details were so readily available. The cousin who lives in Newcastle NSW would have loads of info. Reply if you still visit this site.

Hello Stardoe,

Well! Well! Well!

We would certainly like an 'image' of Ewen:  My wife's side of the family came northwards in the mid to late 1800s.  There are quite a few relatives in Queensland.

Can you give us details of the family that you have?

I will send you a PM [personal message] of my wife's side of the family.

Your cousin Tony is aware 'of our existence'.

Waiting to hear from you  ........

Regards

EDO

Hello there edo - i hope I'm at the right place. My grandmothers (Thelma Palmer) mother was Mary Mcdermid -daughter of Archibald and Rachel (nee Martin) Mcdermid. Archibalds' parents were Donald and Mary (nee Stewart) Mcdermid who came on the George Fyfe in 1840 - so I guess somehow we are related.   This is my daughters project for school but I fear I may become addicted.  At this point I would like to know if you have any information regarding the reason that the family moved to Australia. Also would you have any online photos of people or the George Fyfe?
thankyou so muchfrom Charmaine -
